Clara Hätzlerin (c. 1430 – 1476) was a professional scribe in 15th century Augsburg. Her 1471 Liederbuch (songbook), a varied collection of love poems and an important literary manuscript, was among the sources used by composer Carl Orff for his tragic Die Bernauerin (1947).

Clara-Hätzler-Straße in Augsburg is named after her.

Hätzlerin is one of the 999 notable women whose names are displayed on the Heritage Floor of Judy Chicago's The Dinner Party art installation (1979).
