Archduchess Maria Clementina Franziska Josepha of Austria was the third surviving daughter of Francis II, Holy Roman Emperor, later Francis I of Austria after the dissolution of the Holy Roman Empire, and his wife Maria Theresa of Naples and Sicily, the eldest daughter of Ferdinand I, King of the Two Sicilies, and Archduchess Marie Caroline of Austria. She was married July 28 1816, at Schönbrunn Palace, Vienna, to her mother's younger brother, Prince Leopoldo of the Two Sicilies, Prince of Salerno, the youngest son of Ferdinand I, King of the Two Sicilies, and Archduchess Maria Carolina of Austria.

Maria Clementina died at the Chateau de Chantilly, France, the home of her widowed son-in-law, Henri d'Orléans, Duc d'Aumale, all of her descendants having predeceased her. She was initially buried at the Basilica of Santa Chiara in Naples, but was later reinterred in the Chapelle Royale de Dreux owing to her close family connection to the House of Bourbon-Orléans and also as it was the burial place of her only child to survive to adulthood.
