Maria Luisa Spaziani (born 1924) is an Italian poetess. Spaziani has been nominated twice for the Nobel Prize for Literature, once in 1990 and again in 1992.

Spaziani and Eugenio Montale

In the 1950s Spaziani had an affair with the poet Eugenio Montale, and was the inspiration for the character la Volpe ("the Fox") in his poetry. Montale's poem "Da un lago svizzera" is an anacrostic forming Maria Luisa Spaziani. In 1995 Spaziani published her correspondence with Montale, consisting of some eight hundred letters.
