Raffaele "Ralph" E. Quattrociocchi (June 11, 1929 – February 24, 1996) was a 20th-century politician most notable for having served as New York State Senator.

[2] He prevailed in the election two years later for the same seat, representing part of Greece, New York,[3] and held that office for a total of five consecutive terms.

Quattrociocchi's accomplishments include securing state funding to extend New York State Route 531 to Ogden, New York, forming a Senate task force on teen stress, and instituting "Operation Watch" to reduce the likelihood of mishaps at railroad crossing signals.

[6] The presiding judge found that Quattrociocchi was aware that a full-time aide had been hired for the sole purpose of campaigning, but since the deed had taken place outside of New York County, the District Attorney had no jurisdiction.

[8][9] In the early 1990s, the 55th senate district was redrawn to include Brighton, Monroe County, New York and parts of the city of Rochester, ultimately leading to his defeat in both the 1992 Democratic primary and the general election.
