Felice Caronni CRSP (8 November 1747 – 10 April 1815) was an Italian memoir writer, numismatist and archeologist.
He fell victim to the Barbary slave trade after having been abducted by the barbary corsairs in 1804. After having returned to Italy, he wrote a memoir of his experience as a slave, which is one of the latest slave narratives of the barbary slave trade. Any profits from the book were to go towards ransoming Christian slaves in Tunisia.
