Arnold Cassola (born November 21, 1953) is a Maltese and Italian independent politician, professor, author and editor of various books and academic papers.

He has held elective office and political posts in Malta, Italy and at a European level.

Cassola resigned from the party in February 2019 due to differences between himself and the Executive Committee on the issue of abortion.

Despite falling short by around 2,000 votes from the Labour MEP Thomas Bajada, he celebrated the result as the best result of an independent candidate in 103 years, and started the process of forming a 'centre-left-green coalition' after seeing the enthusiasm of the people who helped in his campaign.
