Meo Abbracciavacca () was an Italian poet from Pistoia who died in 1313. Dante Gabriel Rossetti translated two of Abbracciavacca's poems into English in his work titled The Early Italian Poets From Ciullo D'Alcamo to Dante Alighieri (1100-1200-1300): Canzone. He will be silent and watchful in his Love (translation of original Italian verse starting "Madonna, vostra altera canoscenza") and Ballatta. His Life is by Contraries (translation of verse starting "Per lunga dimoranza").
