Vincenzo Pennazza (born 19 October 1984) is a South African-born Italian cricketer. Pennazza is a right-handed batsman who bowls left-arm medium pace. He was born at Paarl, Cape Province.

While still living in South Africa, Pennazza played five Youth One Day Internationals for South Africa Under-19s, with his first appearance coming on tour against England Under-19s at the County Ground, Hove. His further four appearances came in the 2004 Under-19 World Cup, playing against Uganda Under-19s, England Under-19s, India Under-19s, and West Indies Under-19s.[1] He later qualified to play for Italy, owing to his Italian heritage. His first appearance for Italy came against a Leinster Cricket Union President's XI in a warm up match for the 2008 European Cricket Championship Division One, in which Pennazza played four matches.[2] He was then selected as part of Italy's squad for the 2008 World Cricket League Division Four in Tanzania, making six appearances.[3] He took 8 wickets in the tournament at an average of 17.25, with best figures of 2/10.[4] With the bat, he scored 78 runs at a batting average of 14.40, with a high score of 31.[5] His next appearance for Italy came in the 2011 World Cricket League Division Three in Hong Kong, with Pennazza included in Italy's thirteen man squad.[6] He played in five of Italy's six matches in the tournament,[2] taking 8 wickets at an average of 30.12, with best figures of 3/72.[7] With the bat, he scored 47 runs at an average of 15.66, with a high score of 18.[8]

He was later selected as part of Italy's sixteen-man squad for the 2012 World Twenty20 Qualifier in the United Arab Emirates.[9] He made his Twenty20 debut in the tournament against Oman, with Pannazza making eight further appearances, the last of which came against Kenya.[10] In his nine matches, he took 8 wickets at an average of 23.50, with best figures of 2/11.[11] With the bat, he scored 17 runs at an average of 5.66, with a high score of 12.[12] Italy finished the tournament in tenth place and therefore missed out on qualification for the 2012 World Twenty in Sri Lanka. In April 2013, he was selected in Italy's fourteen-man squad for the World Cricket League Division Three in Bermuda.[13]
