Paola Antonia Negri, later known as Virginia Negri (1508, Castellanza - 4 April 1555, Milan) was an Italian nun of the Angelic Sisters of St. Paul, of which she was co-founder. She played a dominant role in her community until being ousted from it by the Roman Inquisition, condemning her to imprisonment.
