Alessandro Safina (Italian pronunciation: [alesˈsandro saˈfiːna]) is an Italian operatic pop tenor.

Born in Siena, Italy, Safina has sought to combine his interests in opera and modern pop music.

In 1989, he won the "Concorso Lirico Internazionale" in Manatova, Italy, and this led to his opera debut. In 1990 he appeared with soprano Katia Ricciarelli as Rodolfo in Puccini's La bohème.
