Ulisse Aldrovandi (11 September 1522 – 4 May 1605) was an Italian naturalist, the moving force behind Bologna's botanical garden, one of the first in Europe.
Carl Linnaeus and the comte de Buffon reckoned him the father of natural history studies.
He is usually referred to, especially in older literature, as Aldrovandus; his name in Italian is equally given as Aldroandi.
