Irma Brandeis (1905–1990) was an American scholar of Dante Alighieri. Her work The Ladder of Vision was acclaimed as a breakthrough in Dantean studies, upon its publication in the 1960s.

In her visits to Italy between 1933 and 1939 Brandeis became acquainted with the poet Eugenio Montale and was the inspiration for the metaphysical figure - senhal (code name)[1] Clizia in his poetry (especially on Le Occasioni).[2] The love story is narrated on Montale's posthumous book Lettere a Clizia (A.Mondadori, Milan 2006).
