Fiora Corradetti Contino (June 27, 1925 – March 5, 2017) was an American opera conductor and teacher.
She was particularly known for her interpretations of Italian verismo works of the late 19th century, and was described as one of the most important figures in opera of the 20th century.
Anne Midgette of The New York Times once suggested that she "might have had a far bigger career had she been a man".
