Jacopo Caldora or Giacomo Caldora (1369 – 15 November 1439) was an Italian condottiero, renowned for his military prowess and political savvy during the turbulent conflicts of early 15th-century Italy. He served as the Grand Constable of the Kingdom of Naples and held various governorships, including that of L'Aquila from June to December 1415. For his achievements in both warfare and statecraft, he was compared by contemporaries to Pompey the Great.
