- Cornelia Cinna minor, the wife of Julius Caesar and mother of his only legitimate child.
- Lucius Cornelius Cinna (suffect consul), the son of Lucius Cornelius Cinna and a praetor; he was a conspirator against Caesar.
- Helvius Cinna, a poet murdered for having the same name as the assassin Cinna during the riots following Caesar's death.
- Gnaeus Cornelius Cinna Magnus, a conspirator against Augustus Caesar in AD 4, and the subject of Corneille's tragedy Cinna
