Luisa Sigea de Velasco (Tarancón, 1522 — Burgos, October 13, 1560) was a Spanish poetess and intellectual of the 16th century. One of the first works of Western erotic fiction, Dialogues of Luisa Sigea, was falsely ascribed to her. André de Resende wrote the following epitaph for her: "Hic sita SIGAEA est: satis hoc: qui cetera nescit Rusticus est: artes nec colit ille bonas", (Loosely: "Here lies Sigea; no more need be said; anyone who does not know the rest is an uneducated fool.")
