Giuseppe La Farina (20 July 1815 in Messina – 5 September 1863 in Torino) was an influential leader of the Italian Risorgimento.
Minister of Cavour, was highly involved in Garibaldi's departure for Sicily.
A nationalist at heart, he was believed to be one of the few to whom Cavour actually revealed his intentions regarding the Sicilian campaign during the dictatorship of Garibaldi, and eventual unification.
A large monument to his memory stands in the south-west corner of the cloister of the Basilica of Santa Croce, Florence.
In Messina a street (Via Giuseppe La Farina) and a high school are named after him.
