Ettore Carafa d'Andria, the Count of Ruvo (Andria, August 10, 1767 - Naples, September 4, 1799) was an Italian soldier and republican patriot, executed after the fall of the Parthenopean Republic. His courage, idealism, and resolute optimism created in Ettore an image of the Italian martyr for following generations involved in the struggle for more democratic structures and an Italian nation.
