Mariacarla Boscono (born 20 September 1980) is an Italian supermodel.

Boscono was born in Rome, Italy. She spent most of her early life travelling because of her father's work. Her parents lived in Thailand before she was born, but after her mother became pregnant they moved to Rome. She spent a couple of years in Rome until moving to Providence and then Key West. She spent her early school years in the States, but her parents thought it would be better for Boscono to study in Italy and reconnect with her Italian heritage. This did not last very long though: at 9 years old Boscono and her family moved to Kenya, living in a village between Malindi and Mombasa. Boscono described her years in Kenya as "the most fantastic in her life".

Boscono was discovered at 17 during a dinner with a family friend who happened to be a photographer. The friend and Boscono's mother encouraged her to begin a modeling career, but Boscono chose to finish school first. Soon after graduating high school she flew to New York City, signed with DNA Model Management, and became one of the favourite models of Karl Lagerfeld. It did not take long for Boscono to rise as an internationally known model, being featured on the cover of Vogue several times and walking in many high fashion runway shows. Recently she was named spokesperson for Hennes & Mauritz, replacing Kate Moss, and during 2006's Fall Fashion Week she traded in her long dark locks for a short platinum blonde hairstyle reminiscent of Jean Seberg. Boscono is living in New York, and calls it her second home, coming second after her birthplace of Rome.
