Giuppy Izzo (real name Giuseppina Izzo, born April 3rd, 1968) is an Italian voice actress, known for voicing Lorelai in Gilmore Girls, Meredith in Grey's Anatomy, and the titular Bridget Jones in the movies.

Her works provide examples of:
- Early-Installment Weirdness: In her early dubs, the spelling of her Stage Name in the credits was inconsistent, from Juppy Izzo or even Juppi Izzo.
- Real-Life Relative: The best example is Gilmore Girls. Giuppy dubbed Lorelai, while her niece Myriam Catania dubbed Lorelai's daughter Rory.
- Role Reprise: The Gilmore Girls revival A Year in the Life stayed at the same studio (PUMAISdue), with the main characters' voice actresses (Giuppy Izzo and Myriam Catania) appointing themselves as the dubbing directors and inviting all the original voice actors back after nine years.
