Lydia Marinelli (15 July 1965 - 8 September 2008) was an Austrian historian, editor, academic author and curator. She also displayed originality and flair as an exhibition organiser. Her speciality was the history of psychoanalysis. The most public aspect of her career involved her work as curator of the Sigmund Freud Museum in Vienna.

Lydia Marinelli died young. Her suicide was followed by heartfelt tributes from fellow scholars. "Her death", wrote Michael Hagner "... at the age of just forty-three has robbed us of one of the most original humanities scholars (''"Geisteswissenschaftlerinnen"'') of her generation".}} Provided by Wikipedia
