Countess Emilia Antwerpiana of Nassau (Antwerp, 9 December 1581 - Landsberg, 28 September 1657) was the sixth and youngest daughter of William the Silent and his third wife, Charlotte of Bourbon.[1]
Emilia Antwerpiana was her father's last surviving daughter. When her elder sister Louise Juliane married in 1593, she went to live with her in Heidelberg.

On 4 July 1616, Emilia Antwerpiana married Frederick Casimir, Count Palatine of Zweibrücken-Landsberg (1585–1645) and settled with him in Landsberg.
