Arcangela Tarabotti (February 24, 1604-1652) was a Renaissance Italian nun and writer, author of Paternal Tyranny (pub. 1654).

Tarabotti was unusual in the depth of her passion for learning; she was allowed visitors, news, and books and from 1630 or so her visitors included members of the Accademia degli Incogniti, a group of prominent free-thinkers influential in Venetian cultural life. The founder of the Accademia, Giovan Francesco Loredan, arranged for the publication of at least two of Tarabotti's works.
