Federico Sforza (20 January 1603 – 24 May 1676) was an Italian Catholic cardinal.

Sforza was born in 1603, the son of Alessandro Sforza, 7th Count of Santa Fiora, Duke of Segni and Prince of Valmontone - and Eleonora Orsini.

Pope Innocent X, elected in 1644 and concerned that so noble a house as Sforza should go without a cardinal, decided Federico Sforza should "wear the purple".

[2] And so, Sforza was asked to return to Rome by Pope Innocent who elevated him to cardinal in 1645[3] and appointed him bishop of Rimini where he served for 11 years before resigning in 1656.

In 1675 he was elected bishop of Tivoli but died on 24 May of the following year.
