TheDel Bo Authority was the lastHigh Authority of theEuropean Coal and Steel Community (ECSC), between 1963 and 1967. Its president wasRinaldo Del Bo ofItaly. Del Bo was briefly followed byAlbert Coppé'sinterim Authority.

There were only five High Authorities, this being the last, before the institutions of the ECSC weremerged with those of theEuropean Atomic Energy Community and theEuropean Economic Community in 1967 to become theEuropean Communities.

When they were created, the Authorities of the Atomic Energy and Economic Communities were called "Commissions", and that name was kept after the three bodies merged rather than "High Authority", hence no Authority exists today.

Del Bo's term was until 19 December 1963 but had it extended on 10 January 1964 until 8 March 1967 when he resigned.^[1]
