Semilasso is the nom-de-plume adopted by Prince Hermann von Pückler-Muskau (1785–1871), a famous German traveller and landscape gardener, for his autobiographical travel books.
It is also the name of a Cultural Centre in the Královo pole district of Brno, Czech Republic, which takes its name from the former public house "U semilassa", once known as the "Schaffgotschův hostinec", which was renamed about 1836 in tribute to Pückler-Muskau.
