Virgilia Lütz (born Caroline Antonie Lütz; 27 March 1869 – 8 June 1949) was a German Benedictine. She was the reigning abbess of Nonnberg in Salzburg from 1921 until her death in 1949. During her reign, Maria von Trapp entered the abbey as a postulant. Lütz is the basis for the Mother Abbess character in The Sound of Music.
