Angelina Cabras (23 December 1898 – 19 June 1993) was an Italian mathematician and physicist. She earned degrees in mathematics from the University of Turin in 1924 and in physics from the University of Cagliari in 1927. She obtained a position in mathematical physics at Cagliari, later moving to the institute of theoretical mechanics there. Her research concerned higher dimensional rigid body dynamics, the theory of relativity, and inductance.{{citation|url=http://matematica-old.unibocconi.it/storia/letterac/cabras.htm|title=Cabras Angelina|work=Biografie di matematici italiani|publisher=PRISTEM, Bocconi University|accessdate=2016-07-07|language=Italian|archive-date=2016-08-11|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160811092830/http://matematica-old.unibocconi.it/storia/letterac/cabras.htm|url-status=dead}}.{{citation|url=http://docplayer.it/14662282-Gender-mainstreaning-nella-storia-della-matematica.html|title=Gender mainstreaming nella storia della matematica|first1=Maria Antonietta|last1=De Martinis|first2=Lucia|last2=Maddalena|publisher=Dipartimento di Scienze Economiche, Matematiche e Statistiche, Università degli Studi di Foggia|date=2008|accessdate=2016-07-07}}.
