Lucrezia Donati (Florence, Italy; 1447-ibidem, 1501) was an Italian noblewoman, mistress of Lorenzo de' Medici.
The identity of the woman in the sculpture Dama col mazzolino, at Bargello Museum in Florence could be attributed to Lucrezia Donati. Also Sandro Botticelli's painting Fortitude would be another representation of her.
