Paride Negri (2 September 1883 – 8 April 1954) was an Italian general during World War II.

[10][11][12] After a period at the VII Army Corps for special duties from June to December 1941, on 1 December he was appointed commander of the 154th Infantry Division "Murge", stationed in Herzegovina for occupation duties, with garrisons in Mostar and other towns.

[16][17][18] On 13 May 1942, while crossing the woods of Bisina, six kilometers north of Nevesinje, with a large column of his division, he was ambushed by the partisans, who blocked the road with fallen trees, rocks and telegraph poles and opened fire on the head of the column, killing the commanding officer of the 154th Artillery Regiment and another four officers as well as the two drivers.

Under heavy enemy fire, Negri managed to organize an improvised defense that allowed the column to retreat from the ambush site, and after the arrival of a reinforcing blackshirt unit he led the counterattack, in which he was slightly wounded.

[22][23] From March to early September 1943 he was attached to the Armed Forces High Command of Albania for special duties.
