The House of Orlandi was an Italian political and military family of the Republic of Pisa, dating back as early as the 10th century.
The Orlandi had a rivalry with the House of Della Gherardesca after Ugolino della Gherardesca's betrayal in the battle of Meloria.
There is a Orlandi Chapel in the church of Saint Francis in Pescia.
