Vissanna sheep are an Italian autochthonous sheep breed from Visso in the province of Macerata. They belong to the Apennine group and are reared in high hills but they are able to make the most of poor pastures.

They are medium-small sheep (males: 70 cm, females: 60 cm at the withers) with white wool. They are raised for meat, milk, and wool.
