Lucrezia Donati (Florence, Italy, 1447–1501) was an Italian noblewoman, and mistress of Lorenzo de' Medici.

The identity of the woman in the sculpture Dama col mazzolino, at Bargello Museum in Florence has been attributed by some to Lucrezia Donati. Also Sandro Botticelli's painting Fortitude would be another representation of her.
