Alessandro Malladra (Turin, 1865 – Rome, 1945) was an Italian volcanologist. He was professor of natural sciences at the College Mellerio Rosmini-Domodossola. He got involved in the construction of the Simplon Tunnel. He succeeded Giuseppe Mercalli at the Vesuvius Observatory, first as curator and afterwards as director (1927–1935). He was also general secretary of the Volcanology Section of the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (1919–1936) and, at the same time, its president for one period (1930–1933). The mineral malladrite (03.CH.05, a fluorosilicate) was named in his honour.
