Pietro Alessandro Gaspare Scarlatti (* 2. Mai 1660 auf Sizilien (entweder in Trapani oder Palermo); † 24. Oktober 1725 in Neapel) war ein italienischer Komponist des Barock und der neapolitanischen Schule, der besonders für seine Vokalmusik wie Opern, Oratorien, Kantaten u. a. berühmt ist, und als großer Erneuerer der Barockmusik gilt. Zu seinen Innovationen gehören die von ihm umgestaltete, typisch italienische Opern-Sinfonia (Ouvertüre), ein Vorläufer der klassischen Sinfonie, und die vierstimmige Sonate, eine Vorform des Streichquartetts. Er war der Vater von neun Söhnen, darunter die ebenfalls als Komponisten bekannt gewordenen Domenico Scarlatti und Pietro Filippo Scarlatti.
