Cecilia Contarini (fl. 1578) was the Dogaressa of Venice by marriage to the Doge Sebastiano Venier (r. 1577-1578). She married the future doge in 1544. Along with her spouse, she reportedly preferred to avoid ceremony and public life and lived secluded in the palace. She greeted officials in the doge's stead, such as when that Brescian embassy came full of "gratitude for precious services and in token of the devotion and infinite love felt for his Serenity by all the citizens of our city"; they were received by the dogaressa without ceremony, who told them: "I much fear he will be unwilling to accept your offering but I will go and hear what he says." Unlike other dowager dogaressas she was not expected to become a nun but provided with a pension and provisions similar to that of Zilia Dan

| - Cecilia Contarini, död efter 1578, var dogaressa av Venedig mellan 1577 och 1578 och gift med Venedigs doge . Hon gifte sig med Sebastiano Venier år 1544. Liksom sin make föredrog hon att isolera sig i dogepalatset och undvika ett offentligt liv. Eftersom hennes make strax efter ämbetstillträdet blev sjuk och sängliggande, fick hon ta emot sändebud i hans ställe, och agerade då kurir mellan maken och sändebuden i offentliga angelägenheter. Hon var respekterad, och till skillnad från vad som var sed bland dogaressor, förväntades hon inte gå i kloster, som änka, och utan blev i likhet med Zilia Dandolo istället försedd med statlig pension och en mängd personliga privilegier.
