Vittoria Cristina Adelaide Chiara Maria di Savoia (born 28 December 2003) is the daughter and heir apparent to Emanuele Filiberto of Savoy, Prince of Venice, who is a claimant to the headship of the House of Savoy, the former ruling house of the Kingdom of Italy.^[1]^[2]^[3]

The headship of the house of Savoy is currently disputed by Aimone di Savoia Aosta, a descendant of Victor Emmanuel II's younger son, Amadeo I of Spain. The origins of the dispute stem from Vittorio Emanuele, Prince of Naples's marriage to Marina Doria, which Aimone's father, Amadeo claimed was done without the permission of Umberto II, therefore excluding Vittorio Emanuele and all of his descendants from succeeding to the headship of the House of Savoy.^[4]

As the succession laws of the House of Savoy only permitted males to succeed in their domains, a woman succeeding to the headship of the House of Savoy is unprecedented. In 2019, Vittorio Emanuele, Vittoria's grandfather, proclaimed that the laws of the House of Savoy were to be changed, and Vittoria was placed as second in line to the headship of the house of Savoy, behind her father.^[5]
