Florida Cevoli (born as Lucrezia Elena Cevoli, 11 November 1685 – 12 June 1767) was an Italian Capuchin Poor Clare who served as an abbess. She assumed the religious name Florida, devoted her energies to the maintenance of the order in Umbria and carried out her assigned tasks with strong zeal and diligence.

Cevoli's beatification was celebrated in 1993.[1]
