Alessandro Malaspina (November 5, 1754 – April 9, 1810) is an Italian explorer who spends most of his life as a Spanish naval officer.

He is a member of the CUP.

Under a Spanish royal commission, he undertakes a voyage around the world from 1786 to 1788, then, from 1789 to 1794, a scientific expedition (the Malaspina Expedition) throughout the Pacific Ocean, exploring and mapping much of the west coast of the Americas from Cape Horn to the Gulf of Alaska, crossing to Guam and the Philippines, and stopping in New Zealand, Australia, and Tonga.

Malaspina is christened "Alessandro".

He signs his letters in Spanish "Alexandro", which is usually modernized to "Alejandro" by Spanish scholars.
