Corona Riccardo (c. 1878 – October 15, 1917) was an Italian born American actress who had a brief Broadway stage career before leaving to become a wife and mother.

Wilson Barrett engaged her for a role in his play The Sign of the Cross which he took on tour of the United States.

Robert B. Mantell in 1898 who struck by her beauty also cast her in two Shakespeare plays, Romeo and Juliet and Othello.

Author Lewis Strang writing in 1899 said Riccardo was the most promising actress in America at the time.

In conjunction with the play she met a man called Chief Silver Tongue, of Native American heritage, and of the Ho-Chunk Nation or Winnebagos.
