Goffredo Alessandrini (20 November 1904, in Cairo – 16 May 1978, in Rome) was an Italian scriptwriter and film director.

He practiced athletics in his youth, and won a title of Italian champion on 110 meters hurdles in 1925.

He received the Biennale Award in 1942, for Noi Vivi and Addio Kira!

His most remembered and important works are two anti-Communist films (combined to comprise 4 hours), both based on Ayn Rand's We the Living.

These films were eventually pulled from theatres as the Italian and German governments, which abhorred Communism, discovered that the stories also contained an anti-Fascist message.
