Domenico Chirieleison (Asti, 26 December 1888 – Rome, 1972) was an Italian general during World War II.

[2] On 1 November 1941 he was appointed commander of the 4th Infantry Division Livorno, replacing General Benvenuto Gioda.

In 1942 the division was transferred from Piedmont to central Italy, where it underwent intensive training as one of the units chosen for the planned landing in Malta; it was later transferred to Sicily, where it was considered to be the best Italian unit at the time of the Allied landings in July 1943.

The Division participated in the battle of Gela, launching heavy counterattacks against US troops on 11 July 1943, the day after the landings, being repelled with the help of naval gunfire.
