The House of Ruspoli is an Italian noble family originally from Florence that became one of the great aristocratic families of Rome. Part of the black nobility, the family was elevated to princely status, as the Princes of Cerveteri, by Pope Clement XI in 1709. In 1721, the family was elevated to the status of Roman princes in the Papal States. The head of the family traditionally serves in the Pontifical Household as the Grand Master of the Sacred Apostolic Hospice.
