Tisa von der Schulenburg (* 7 December 1903 in Tressow; † 8 February 2001 in Dorsten), born as Elisabeth Karoline Mary Margarete Veronika Countess von der Schulenburg, was a German artist and later a nun in the Ursuline Order under the name Sister Paula.

At 16, she impressed Max Liebermann with her paper cuttings, but was not allowed to study sculpture with Fritz Klimsch, Edwin Scharff and Otto Hitzberger until 1925. A semester abroad in Paris in 1927 brought her into contact with Charles Despiaux, who supported her work. In the Golden Twenties, she lived in Berlin and Paris, where she met personalities such as Bertolt Brecht, Albert Einstein and the Mann brothers and discussed art and politics with them.
