Marieta Morosina Priuli (fl. 1665) was an Italian composer.

She was born in Venice into the Morosina family. [1] [2] Priuli published a collection of works in 1665 dedicated to the Habsburg Dowager Empress Eleonor Magdalene of Neuburg entitled Balletti e correnti. It included five sets of pieces for three string instruments and harpsichord continuo, and eight correnti. [3]

Several Italian women from this period of time are known to have published instrumental music. Both Priuli and Isabella Leonarda published one collection each, Isabella Leonarda's Opus 16; Priuli's Balletti e correnti. [4]
