Corrado Rustici (born 1957) is an Italian musician, songwriter and producer.

Rustici was a founder member of the Naples-based progressive rock group Cervello. The band recorded the album Melos in 1973, with Rustici on guitar and vocals. In 1975, he joined with members of Osanna, including his brother Danilo, to form the group Nova. In 1976, they recorded the album Blink. For the next two albums Vimana (1976) and Wings of Love (1977), they relocated to London and worked with prominent members of the progressive rock and jazz fusion scenes, including Narada Michael Walden and Phil Collins. Nova's final album, Sun City (1978) was recorded in New York. After the disbandment of Nova, Rustici moved to Los Angeles and started a successful career as a producer and musician collaborating with many artists both in the United States and Italy. These have included Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Zucchero and Elisa.

In 1995, Rustici released his first solo album, The Heartist. His 2006 album, Deconstruction of a Postmodern Musician, features guest artists such as Elisa and Allan Holdsworth. To promote the album Rustici formed the Corrado Rustici Trio with former Jethro Tull keyboardist Peter-John Vettese and jazz fusion drummer Steve Smith. In 2014, the band recorded a live album Blaze and Bloom - Live in Japan. In 2017, Rustici performed at a reunion concert in Tokyo with other original members of Cervello, later to be released as a live CD and DVD titled Cervello - Live in Tokyo 2017. In 2021, Rustici released the album Interfulgent and a single called "The Singing Light" in memory of his brother Danilo.
