Alessia Maurelli (born 22 August 1996) is an Italian group rhythmic gymnast who captains it from 2016. She is the 2014 World Group All-around silver medalist and two-time European (2018, 2014) Group All-around silver medalist.


A member of the national squad since 2014, Maurelli ascended to prominence on the international scene at the 2016 Summer Olympics, where she and fellow rhythmic gymnasts Sofia Lodi, Camilla Patriarca, Marta Pagnini, and Martina Centofanti attained a total score of 35.549 on the combination of hoops, ribbons, and clubs for the fourth spot in the final, slipping her team off the podium (and the second place) by nearly two tenths of a point.[1][2][3]
