Matteo Rosso Orsini (1178–1246), called the Great, was Roman politician and father of Pope Nicholas III.

He was an effective lord of the Eternal City during sede vacante 1241 and had a considerable influence on the papal election, 1241, when the cardinal electors were confined in Septizonium by his orders. He extended the territories of the Orsini family. He was also a personal friend of St Francis of Assisi and protector of his Order.
