Nathalie Moellhausen (born 1 December 1985) is an Italo-Brazilian épée fencer, team World champion in 2009 and team European champion in 2007 for Italy. She now represents Brazil.
Moellhausen was born in Milan from an Italian-German father and an Italo-Brazilian mother, stylist Valeria Ferlini–she holds dual citizenship. She began fencing at the age of five at her school, then at CS Mangiarotti, where she trained under Nicola Pomarnasky, then Sandro Resegotti. She won in 2004 a bronze medal at the Junior World Championships in Plovdiv.
At the age of 18 she joined C.S. Aeronautica Militare, the sport section of the Italian Air Force, and moved to Paris to be coached by Daniel Levavasseur, who was training Laura Flessel at the time. The 2008–09 season saw her climb her first World Cup podium with a bronze medal in the Doha Grand Prix. It was followed by bronzes in Tauberbischofsheim and Budapest, silver in the Montreal World Cup and gold in the Lobnya World Cup. In the 2009 World Championships in Antalya she was stopped in the round of 32, but in the team event she conquered Italy's first gold in women's épée along with Bianca Del Carretto, Francesca Quondamcarlo and Cristiana Cascioli. Moellhausen finished the season No.8 in world rankings, her personal best as of 2014.
In the 2009–10 season Moellhausen won a silver medal in the Rome Grand Prix. In the World Championships at Paris, she made her way to the semifinals where she was defeated by Emese Szász of Hungary and came away with the bronze medal. In the team event Italy were overcome by Estonia in the table of 16 and could not defend their title.
