'''Alfonso Falloppia''' was a [[century::16th century]] [[nationality::Italian]] soldier and [[fencing master]]. Little is known about his life, but he describes himself as "Ensign of the Fortress of Bergamo".

In 1584, he published a treatise on the use of the rapier entitled ''[[Nuovo et brieve modo di schermire (Alfonso Falloppia)|Nuovo et brieve modo di schermire]]'' ("New and Brief Method of Fencing"). It was dedicated to Ranuccio Farnese, who was 15 years old at the time of publication and would become Duke of Parma, Piacenza, and Castro.
