Nedda Friberti (born 13 September 1913, date of death unknown) was an Italian Jewish mathematician who fled Italy as a result of the German occupation of the Italian Socialist Republic during World War II.[1][2] She was denied entry into the United States by the Emergency Committee in Aid of Displaced Foreign Scholars.[3] In 1939, she was able to flee to Switzerland to escape persecution.[4]
