Giovanna Sestini (6 April 1749 – 14 July 1814) was a soprano opera singer who performed in her native Italy, in Portugal, and from 1774 in London, where she lived for the rest of her life. For many years she was the popular prima buffa (or first woman) in comic opera at the King's Theatre in the Haymarket. In her later years, she was known by her married name, Joanna Stocqueler.
