Cristina Patricia Odone (born 11 November 1960 in Nairobi, Kenya) is an Italian journalist, editor, and writer living in the United Kingdom. She has written for several newspapers, and was formerly the editor of The Catholic Herald, and deputy editor of the New Statesman.
Odone was born of an Italian father, Augusto Odone, and a Swedish mother. She had a brother, Francesco, and a half-brother, Lorenzo, from her father's second marriage to Michaela Odone (and for whom Lorenzo's oil is named).
