La ilustre fregona (The Illustrious Kitchen Maid or The Illustrious Scullery-maid) is a novella by Miguel de Cervantes, published in the collection Novelas ejemplares. It tells the story of two wealthy young men who fall in love with a kitchen maid in Toledo. The story contains mistaken identities, ironic comments and genre traits of the picaresque novel and pastoral romance.[1][2]

It was the basis for the 1928 Spanish film La ilustre fregona, directed by Armando Pou.[2]
