Alfredo Covelli (22 February 1914 – 25 December 1998) was an Italian monarchist politician. He was the leader of the Monarchist National Party and Italian Democratic Party of Monarchist Unity from 1946 to 1972.. In 1972, he led the monarchists into union with the neofascist Italian Social Movement, taking up the role of President in the merged party. However, in 1977, he broke from the MSI, forming National Democracy. In the 1979 election, he failed to be re-elected as a candidate of National Democracy and retired from politics, though he remained active in monarchist circles. He was continuously a deputy for Rome between 1948 and 1979, representing successively the PNM, PDIUM, MSI and National Democracy. He died in 1998 in Rome.
