Acquaformosa (Arbëreshë Albanian: Firmoza) is a town and comune in the province of Cosenza in the Calabria region of Italy. Since the Middle Ages it has been home to an Arbëresh minority community, which is reflected in the presence of Skanderbeg's heraldic eagle in the comune's coat of arms. The town is also the seat of the Arberesh Orthodox Church.
