Nadia Dandolo (born 11 September 1962) is a former Italian long-distance runner, two-time it the top eight at European Championships (1990, 1992) and one at the European Indoor Championships (1991).[2]
She won the silver medal in the 3000 metres at the 1991 Mediterranean Games.[3] She competed at the IAAF World Cross Country Championships on six occasions, finishing in fifth place at the 1990 and 1992 editions. Her ninth-place finish at the 1982 competition in Rome earned her the women's team silver medal. She also won the Cinque Mulini cross country race in 1990.[4]
She has continued running into the Masters division, winning the W50 5000 metres at the 2015 World Masters Athletics Championships, in a time superior to the winners in all three younger divisions (for women almost 18 years younger).
