The 1999 Internazionali Femminili di Palermo – Doubles was the doubles event of the twelfth edition of the second most prestigious women's tennis tournament held in Italy.

Wagner therefore competed with Laurence Courtois as the third seed, and was defeated in the semifinals by second seeds Tina Križan and Katarina Srebotnik.
