Alessandro Messina is an Italian voice actor known for his work dubbing foreign productions into Italian, with a career that spans live-action series and animated films. He began his artistic journey in the theater during his adolescence in Sicily, working with director Eugenio Barba at the Teatro Stabile di Catania.

He is perhaps most widely recognized as the official Italian voice of Sandor "The Hound" Clegane, played by Rory McCann, in the acclaimed series Game of Thrones, a role he performed for all eight seasons. His other television dubbing credits include roles in series such as The Night Shift, The Last Kingdom, The Protector, and Damnation.

In the realm of animation and anime, Messina has contributed his voice to several notable projects. He is the Italian voice of Lieutenant Otis "Bugspray" Hacks in the 2012 CGI animated film Starship Troopers: Invasion. More recently, he voiced the character Makokan in the Italian dub of the 2022 anime film The Deer King, an adaptation of the fantasy novels by Nahoko Uehashi produced by Studio Production I.G.

For his contributions to the field, Alessandro Messina received the Audience Award at the Gran Premio del Doppiaggio in December 2018, a recognition of his popularity and skill as a voice actor.
