Teresa Ciceri Castiglioni (Angera, 15 October 1750 – Como, 29 March 1821) was an Italian inventor and agronomist who was instrumental in the introduction of potato cultivation to her region of Italy.

In their early years together in Camnago Volta, a quartiere in Como, the family owned a considerable amount of land as well as the properties of Rienza and Figarola.

[3] She promoted the art of "combing, spinning, twisting and knitting the bark of lupins" as Maurizio Monti wrote in his Story of Como.

[4] On 1 February 1786, the Patriotic Society of Milan appointed Ciceri "Sozia National Correspondent for knowledge and zeal respectively for the objects of agriculture and Arts" for her lupine discovery, but above all for having introduced the cultivation of potatoes in the Como area.

Ciceri's friend Alessandro Volta was a guest at her home in Angera on 4 November 1776, when he collected some gas that was being released from a nearby swamp.
