Antonella Bevilacqua (born 15 October 1971 in Foggia) is an Italian high jumper, whose personal best jump was 1.98 metres, achieved in May 1996 in Milan.

[2] In 1996 Bevilacqua tested positive for the prohibited substances ephedrine and pseudoephedrine twice during the same month.

The IAAF decided to put the case to arbitration and allowed Bevilaqua to compete at that year's Olympics where she cleared 1.99m to finish 4th.

However, after the games it was decided that a doping offence had been committed and her Olympic result was annulled.

[3][4] The athlete was however only disqualified for three months and was able to return to competitions already with the beginning of the 1997 indoor season in which she immediately won the national title.
