Pasquale Passarelli (born 14 March 1957) is a retired Italian-born German wrestler who competed in the Greco-Roman bantamweight division. He won a world and a European title in 1981 and an Olympic gold medal in 1984. He missed the 1980 Olympics due to their boycott by West Germany.
Passarelli was born in Italy, and moved to West Germany at the age of five. He retired after the 1984 Olympics, and later worked as a real estate agent in Southern Germany. Between 2001 and 2005 he coached wrestlers at the club KSV Berghausen. His brothers Claudio and Thomas are also retired competitive wrestlers.
