Alessandra Mussolini (born December 30, 1962) is an Italian actress and fascist politician. She is currently a Member of the European Parliament as well as a parliamentarian in the Republican Chamber of Deputies of Italy, elected in Naples for Alleanza Nazionale.

Mussolini is the grand-daughter of former Italian Prime Minister Benito Mussolini (daughter of his third son Romano Mussolini); she is also a niece of the famous actress Sophia Loren.

On 28 November 2003 she resigned from the party, though retaining her seat in the Chamber of Deputies, when she considered that party leader and deputy prime minister Gianfranco Fini "dishonoured her family's history" when he described fascism as "an absolute evil" when apologising in Israel for Italy's actions before and during the Second World War.

Mussolini subsequently established a new party, the Alternativa Sociale con Alessandra Mussolini , which won one seat in the European Parliament election of June 2004.
