Maria Adeodata Pisani, OSB (29 December 1806 – 25 February 1855) was a Maltese Catholic nun.

Pope John Paul II beatified Pisani on 9 May 2001. A number of bishops also released a pastoral letter emphasizing the serious difficulties that she had to face, stating that Pisani had had "a difficult childhood as her parents did not live together. She renounced and disposed of her wealth, willingly living as a cloistered nun."
