Yulia Alexandrovna von Dehn (Russian: Юлия Александровна фон Ден; 9 August [O.S. 27 July] 1888 – 8 October 1963),[1] known as Lili Dehn, or Lili von Dehn, was the wife of a Russian naval officer and a friend to Empress Alexandra Feodorovna.

Following the Russian Revolution of 1917, Dehn wrote a biography, The Real Tsaritsa, to refute rumors that were circulating in Europe during the 1920s about the Empress and Grigori Rasputin.
