Lorenzo Attendolo (1355–1437) was an Italian condottiero.[1]

Lorenzo was probably son of Nascimbene.[1] He was the cousin of Giacomo Attendolo, and they were at the service of the House of Este.[1] In 1412 a great fire was recorded in Cotignola which destroyed everything, with the exception of the church, the house of Sforza and the house of Lorenzo Attendolo.[2] In 1427 was part of Duchy of Milan as a soldier and later on with Francesco Sforza.[1] In his last military action commanded the troop of the king of Naples Alfonso V of Aragon.[1]

Lorenzo had a son whose name was Giovanni Battista.[1]
