Cristoforo Alasia de Quesada (1864–1918) was an Italian mathematician.

Alasia studied at the universities of Turin (under Enrico D'Ovidio and Giuseppe Peano)^[1] and Rome (under Luigi Cremona). In 1893 began his academic career as mathematics professor in different high schools at Sassari, Tempio Pausania, Oristano, Ozieri, Brindisi and, finally, at Albenga.^[2]

Alasia was well known at the beginning of 20th century for he was the founder of Le Matematiche Pure e Applicate,^[3] a journal devoted to the improvement of scientific knowledge of mathematics teachers.^[4]
