Federica Brignone (born 14 July 1990) is an Italian World Cup alpine ski racer. She competes in all alpine disciplines, with a focus on giant slalom and super-G. Brignone won the World Cup overall title in 2020, becoming the first Italian female to achieve this feat. She is also an Olympic and World Championship medalist. She competed at the 2022 Winter Olympics, in Women's giant slalom, winning a silver medal, and Women's combined, winning a bronze medal.

Born in Milan, Lombardy, Brignone made her World Cup debut at age 17 in December 2007, and her first full season on the World Cup circuit was in 2010. At her first World Championships in 2011, Brignone won the silver medal in the giant slalom. In December 2012, Brignone underwent surgery on her right ankle to remove a bothersome cyst, and missed the rest of the 2013 season.

During the World Cup finals at Aspen in March 2017, Brignone won giant slalom to lead an Italian podium sweep, with teammates Sofia Goggia and Marta Bassino. She was part of two other hat tricks by Italy, both in downhill: as runner-up at Bad Kleinkirchheim in 2018, and a third place at Bansko in 2020.

At the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea, Brignone won her first Olympic medal, the bronze in the giant slalom.

In March 2020, Brignone earned the overall crystal globe with 1378 points – ahead of Mikaela Shiffrin (1225) and Petra Vlhova (1189) – becoming the first and to date only Italian woman to win World Cup overall title. With five wins and eleven podiums during the season, she added two more globes for the giant slalom and combined titles.

Brignone won the silver medal in the Women's giant slalom and the bronze medal in the Women's combined in the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.

Through March 2022, Brignone has 20 World Cup victories and 49 podiums, with 26 in giant slalom, 13 in super-G, 4 in downhill and 6 in combined.
