Pasquale di Sabatino (born January 20, 1988 in Atri) is a professional racing driver from Italy.

After an early career in karting, di Sabatino stepped up to single-seaters in 2005, racing in the Italian Formula Junior 1600 series. Driving for the Tomcat Racing team, he secured ten podium places in twelve races, including five victories, to comfortably win the title. He also took part in the Italian Formula Renault 2.0 winter series at the end of the season. In the four races he contested he took one podium place to finish tenth in the standings.

The following year di Sabatino graduated to the full Italian Formula Renault 2.0 championship, but failed to score a point in the twelve races he took part in. During the season he also made his debut in the World Series by Renault, replacing Miloš Pavlović at Italian team Cram Competition. Again, he failed to score any points in the ten races he contested.

For 2007 di Sabatino took part in a full World Series season with another Italian team, GD Racing. He took one points finish during the season (a ninth place at Spa-Francorchamps) to finish 26th in the championship. During the off-season, he tested for both RC Motorsport and Red Devil Team Comtec before signing for the latter in January 2008 [cite news | url = http://www.crash.net/motorsport/renault/news/159052-0/first_signing_for_comtec.html | title = First signing for Comtec | publisher = crash.net | date = 2008-01-27 | accessdate = 2008-06-03] .

At the first race of the 2008 season in Monza, di Sabatino finished second to Dutchman Giedo van der Garde, scoring his best World Series finish to date.
