The Companion of the President of the Italian Republic (Italian: Consorte del Presidente della Repubblica Italiana; sometimes simply known as Donna) often plays a protocol role at the Quirinal Palace and during official visits.

If the President of the Republic is single or widowed, the functions of the companion may be performed by another person as substitute companion. Since 2015, Laura Mattarella has held the unofficial position of first lady alongside her father, President Sergio Mattarella.
