Pasquale Fornara (b. March 29, 1925 - d. July 24, 1990) was a professional Italian road bicycle racer who gained fame in the 1950s by winning the Tour of Switzerland stage race four times, a record that remains.

In addition to his Tour de Suisse achievements, Fornara won the 1956 Tour de Romandie and finished on the podium in two Grand Tours: a third place behind the legendary Fausto Coppi at the 1953 Giro d'Italia and a second place at the 1958 Vuelta a España behind Frenchman Jean Stablinski.
