Giuseppina (or Giuseppa) Brambilla (9 May 1819 – April 1903) was an Italian opera singer who, like her sisters Marietta and Teresa Brambilla, sang leading roles in the major opera houses in Italy, Spain, France and England. Although often described in modern reference works as a contralto, she also sang many soprano roles including Marie in La fille du régiment and Abigaille in Nabucco. She married the tenor Corrado Miraglia in 1857 and retired from the stage in 1862. Her niece, Teresina Brambilla, was also an opera singer.
