[[Letitia Elizabeth Landon]]'s poem {{ws|[[s:Landon in The New Monthly 1836/Ariosto to his Mistress|Ariosto to his Mistress]]}} (1836) is supposed to be his address to some unknown beauty on presenting her with his completed ''Orlando Furioso''.<ref> {{cite book|last =Landon|first=Letitia Elizabeth|title=The New Monthly Magazine, 1836, Volume 46|date=1836|url=https://play.google.com/books/reader?id=NSQaAQAAIAAJ&pg=GBS.PA440|page=441|section=poem|publisher=Henry Colburn}}</ref>

In his poem ''[[Childe Harold's Pilgrimage]]'', Canto the Fourth (1818), [[Lord Byron]] described poet and novelist [[Walter Scott]] as "The Ariosto of the North", and Ariosto as "The southern Scott". In doing so, Byron connected Ariosto and the Italian Renaissance with early-nineteenth century Scottish and British Romantic writing, emphasising an enduring European literary tradition. Scott, in turn, was influenced by Ariosto and expressed his admiration for the ''Orlando Furioso''.<ref>Lord Byron, Childe Harold's Pilgrimage, Canto the Fourth, stanza 40, lines 354-60.

The paperback edition of ''[[Orlando Furioso]]'' can be briefly glimpsed on table in the dinner scene of the episode "A Ghost" in [[Jim Jarmusch]]'s film ''[[Mystery Train (film)|Mystery Train]]'' (1989).

Lodovico Ariosto is mentioned in the novelization of the video game ''[[Assassin's Creed: Revelations]]'' (2011) as a member of the fictional Italian Brotherhood of [[Order of Assassins|Assassins]]. When the protagonist [[Ezio Auditore da Firenze|Ezio Auditore]] retires from the Brotherhood following the events of the game in 1512, he appoints Lodovico to succeed him as Mentor.
