Alessandro Antonelli (July 14, 1798 – October 18, 1888) was an Italian architect of the 19th century. He was the most prominent Neoclassical 19th-century architect in Piedmont, with a long and prolific career that included designs for houses, churches and major urban planning schemes. His most famous works are the Mole Antonelliana in Turin, one of the tallest masonry structures ever erected, and both the Novara Cathedral and the Basilica of San Gaudenzio in Novara.
