Archduchess Mathilde of Austria ( Mathilde Marie Adelgunde Alexandra; 25 January 1849 – 6 June 1867) was a member of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine as the daughter of Archduke Albert, Duke of Teschen. She was to marry Prince Umberto of Savoy, the Crown Prince of Italy (1844–1900), in order to improve the strained relationship between Austria-Hungary and Italy. Had they married, Mathilde would have become Queen of Italy upon her husband's succession.
