Ines Pellegrini (born 7 November 1954) is an Italian retired actress of Eritrean origin.

Though born in Milan, Italy, Pelligrini spent her childhood in the former Italian colony of Eritrea during the Ethiopia occupation and colonization of the terrority, attending Italian schools, before returning to Italy with her adoptive father in the 1970s.

[1] She made her film debut in 1973 in Il brigadiere Pasquale Zagaria ama la mamma e la polizia but her career was launched by Pier Paolo Pasolini, who chose her for the role of Zumurrud in Arabian Nights (1974); she also appeared in Pasolini's last film, Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom (1975).

[1] About her Pasolini wrote: "When I noticed a half-caste Eritrean-Italian, I almost cried looking at her small, somewhat irregular features, perfect as those of a metal statue, hearing her chirpy, interrogatory Italian, and seeing those eyes, lost in a pleading uncertainty.

In the mid-1980s, she left show business and moved to Los Angeles, where she opened a downtown antiques shop and promoted volunteering.
