Alessandro Nunziante, Duke of Mignano (30 July 1815 – 6 March 1881), was an Italian general and politician of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, and, from 1861, the Kingdom of Italy.
While an officer in the Bourbon Army, Nunziante was a reactionary. Although he was a friend of Ferdinand II and close collaborator with Francis II, he left the Bourbon court in 1860, resigning and returning his honors, and joined the Italian unification effort.
