Princess Felicitas of Prussia (Felicitas Cecilie Alexandrine Helene Dorothea; 7 June 1934 – 1 August 2009) was a German princess and great-granddaughter of the last German Emperor, Wilhelm II.

Felicitas' grandfather, Crown Prince Wilhelm, went into exile in the Netherlands in 1918 following the end of World War I and the collapse of the German monarchy.
Felicitas' father, Prince Wilhelm, was killed in France in 1940 during World War II.
On 12 December 1958 Felicitas married Dinnies Karl Friedrich von der Osten (b. 21 May 1929 - d. 28 June 1989). They had four children:
