Giuseppina Pasqua (24 October 1851 – 24 February 1930) was an Italian opera singer who performed throughout Italy and Europe from the late 1860s through the early 1900s.
She began her career as a soprano when she was only 13, but later retrained her voice as a mezzo-soprano.
She sang in several world premieres, but is most remembered today for having created the role of Mistress Quickly in Giuseppe Verdi's Falstaff.
The composer wrote the role specifically for her and dedicated the Act II aria "Giunta all' albergo" to Pasqua.
She was married to the baritone Astorre Giacomelli.
