Pasquale Caracciolo or Pasqual Caracciolo (floruit 1566–1608) was a Neapolitan nobleman who wrote a substantial treatise on horses and horsemanship.

His work La Gloria del Cavallo was first published in 1566.

La Gloria del Cavallo is a treatise of about a thousand pages,[1]: 56  dedicated almost entirely to horses and horsemanship.

He attributes to horses feelings comparable to those of humans.

His discussion of the character of horses uses examples from the theory of humours as expounded by the second-century Greek physician Galen of Pergamon in relation to human medicine.
