Maria Vittoria De Fornari Strata (1562–1617) was an Italian nun, Foundress (1604) of the Order of the Most Holy Annunciation (O.SS.A.), or Blue Nuns of Genoa, or Annunziate Turchine, so called from their turquoise-coloured mantle. Strictly cloistered, they have a special devotion to the Annunciation and to the hidden life of the Blessed Virgin Mary whilst in Nazareth.

Blessed Vittoria was beatified by Leo XII in 1828. She is remembered liturgically on the date of her death, December 15..
