Alessandro Giuseppe Antonio Anastasio Volta (18 February 1745 – 5 March 1827) je asefisiksi ara Italia[1][2] onímọ̀ kẹ́míìsì, àti aṣáájú-ọ̀nà iná mànàmáná àti agbára[3][4],ẹni tí a kà sí ẹni tí ó dá batiri oníná àti olùṣàwárí methane. O ṣe pile voltaic ni ọdun 1799, o si royin awọn abajade awọn idanwo rẹ ni ọdun 1800 ninu lẹta apakan meji si Alakoso Ẹgbẹ Royal[5][6].
