Vincent A. De Gaetano (born 17 August 1952) is a Maltese judge born in Sliema, Malta and currently the judge of the European Court of Human Rights in respect of Malta.[1]

De Gaetano succeeded Giovanni Bonello, who, together with two other candidates, had been proposed in 1998 by then Prime Minister Alfred Sant. The election of a Maltese judge for the ECHR had been protracting since 2004, with the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe twice rejecting the Maltese Government’s all-male lists.[2]
