Princess Donatella Flick (born Princess Donatella Missikoff) is a socialite and philanthropist, former wife of Gert Rudolph Flick of the wealthy German industrialist Flick family.

Daughter of Prince George Missikoff of Ossetia and an Italian mother, she is a philosophy graduate from the University of Rome and a former Olympic gymnast. She married Gert Rudolph Flick (known as "Muck Flick"), the grandson of the industrialist Friedrich Flick, from whom she separated with a controversial and widely-publicized divorce case in 1999.

She is also known as a philanthropist, especially for her support of medical charities and the Donatella Flick Conducting Competition for young orchestral conductors.

In 2006 she was appointed "Commendatore" of the Italian Republic, and in 2007 was the recipient of a Montblanc de la Culture Arts Patronage Award, given to "outstanding art patrons whose personal commitment and achievements deserve wider recognition."^[1]
