Raffaela Salmaso (born 16 April 1968) is an Italian football coach and former defender, who represented the Italy women's national football team at the 1991 FIFA Women's World Cup.

Despite playing in defence, Salmaso netted around a dozen goals per season as she won four Serie A titles with four different clubs.[1]

Salmaso was a member of the Italy women's national football team from 1990 until 1997, and scored Italy's first goal in their 1991 FIFA Women's World Cup quarter final defeat to Norway. She retired from international football after playing in Italy's 2–0 UEFA Women's Euro 1997 final defeat to Germany.[2]
