Lúcia Tavares Petterle (born October 31, 1949) is a Brazilian doctor and beauty queen who won Miss World 1971. She made headlines in 1971 when she announced in a press conference that she refused to sign a contract with Miss World because she did not want to miss her final year at medical school.

Today she continues with her charity work helping underprivileged children in her free time by giving medical needs and care to them.
