Ludovico Antonio Muratori , 1672-1750, Italian historian, a Roman Catholic priest. One of the foremost scholars of his age, he was long archivist and ducal librarian at Modena.

Muratori edited the important source collections Rerum Italicarum scriptores (28 vol., 1723-51) and Antiquitates Italicae medii aevii (6 vol., 1738-42). He also wrote a history (12 vol., 1744-49) of Italy from Christian times.
