MoreLoris Roggia (4 September 1953 - 20 June 2003) was an Italian co-driver. He was a long time co-driver of Andrea Aghini.
He died in a tragic accident in the third special stage of the Rally del Salento, when the Peugeot 206 driven by Aghini crashed into a dry stone wall in the vicinity of Santa Maria di Leuca.
He made his rally debut in 1974 and became the co-driver of Andrea Aghini in 1997. Their first European Championship season together yielded several podium finishes and a fourth place finish in the championship. In 1998, they finished runner-up to fellow Italian Andrea Navarra, whilst Dario D'Esposito occasionally deputised for Roggia.
The 2003 season proved deadly when in June 2003, Aghini crashed into a dry stone wall in the vicinity of Santa Maria di Leuca during the 37th Rally del Salento, and Roggia died from his injuries. Almost all competitors decided to withdraw. Later, the second leg was cancelled.
