Carmella "Mama" Corleone (born December 8, 1900 – January 27, 1959) is a fictional character in Mario Puzo's The Godfather. She is the wife of crime boss Vito Corleone. Though she figures somewhat prominently in the book (as a rather traditional Italian immigrant woman with very broken English) that developes a close relationship with Michael's wife Kay, she is nowhere given a name, and receives one seemingly as an afterthought for the purposes of the film's credits. Mrs. Corleone is portrayed by Morgana King, who is better known as a singer, and she is briefly given a chance to show some of her vocal skills in the wedding reception scene of The Godfather Part I. She is given more interesting lines of dialogue in The Godfather Part II, notably when she discusses family life with her son, Michael, who is becoming worried as he realizes that his strong-hand Don methods are alienating him from the other members of the family.

In the flashback scenes, the young Carmella is portrayed by Francesca de Sapio.
