Alessandro Pico della Mirandola (1705, in Bologna – 1787, in Madrid), known under the pseudonym Abate Pico della Mirandola, was an Italian nobleman and politician, and the last male descendant of the Pico della Mirandola lineage.

He lived almost all his life in exile in Madrid, and was highly esteemed for his talents; although he was not a priest, he always wore the cassock, calling himself Abate ('abbot').[1]
