Titania er en person i skuespillet En skærsommernatsdrøm af William Shakespeare. Hun er elverdronning, som er gift med elverkongen Oberon. I den traditionelle folklore havde elvedronningen intet navn; Shakespeare hentet navnet fra værket Metamorphoses (8. e.Kr.) skreivet af romerske digter Ovid.[1]
Shakespeares Titania er en stolt skikkelse. Hun og Oberon har en ægteskabeligt skænderi om, hvem af dem, der skal beholde en indisk dreng, der er en skifting. Dette skænderi er drivkraften i en række forviklinger og misforsteåsler blandt skuespillets øvrige personer.
Uranus' måne Titania er opkaldt efter figuren.

Edwin Landseer - Scene from A Midsummer Night's Dream. Titania and Bottom - Google Art Project.jpg
This Edwin Landseer painting was commissioned by the engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel to hang on his dining room wall as part of a series of Shakespeare-themed works. The painting, its subject likely selected by Landseer for its close ties to animals, was popular from its first exhibition; a young Victoria (future Queen of England) described it as "a gem, beautifully fairy-like and graceful".
