Clarice de' Medici (1493 – 3 May 1528) was the daughter of Piero di Lorenzo de' Medici and Alfonsina Orsini.

Born in Florence, she was the granddaughter of Lorenzo de' Medici, niece of Pope Leo X and sister to Lorenzo II de' Medici. After her brother's premature death in 1519, she educated his daughter Catherine, the future Queen of France.

  • Leone Strozzi (15 October 1515 - 28 June 1554), condottiero and Knight of Malta
