Margherita Gonzaga, Marquise of Ferrara (1418–1439) was an Italian woman of the noble family House of Gonzaga. She was the child of Gianfrancesco I Gonzaga, Marquess of Mantua and Paola Malatesta. In 1435 she became the first wife of Leonello d'Este, Marquis of Ferrara through whom she earned the title Marquise of Ferrara. The artist Pisanello gave a wedding gift of a painting of Julius Caesar. This marriage brought an alliance between the House of Gonzaga of Mantua and the House of Este of Ferrara. They had a son Niccolò, who is also known as Niccolò di Leonello to avoid confusion with his grandfather Niccolò III d'Este.
