Alessandra Piccione is a Canadian screenwriter and producer, known for her work on the films Looking for Angelina, The Colossal Failure of the Modern Relationship, and The Cuban.

In 2015, Piccione wrote the screenplay for The Colossal Failure of the Modern Relationship, a comedy-drama shot entirely in Niagara's wine country.
Released theatrically in 2017, the film stars Enrico Colantoni, Krista Bridges, and David Cubitt.
