Andrea del Castagno (Italian: [anˈdrɛːa del kaˈstaɲɲo]; c. 1419 – 19 August 1457), also known patronymically as Andrea di Bartolo di Bargilla (pronounced [anˈdrɛːa di ˈbartolo di barˈdʒilla]), was an Italian Renaissance painter in Florence, influenced chiefly by Masaccio and Giotto di Bondone. His works include frescoes in Sant'Apollonia in Florence and the painted equestrian monument of Niccolò da Tolentino (1456) in Florence Cathedral. He in turn influenced the Ferrarese school of Cosmè Tura, Francesco del Cossa and Ercole de' Roberti.

Notable works: The Holy Trinity, St Jerome, and Two Saints, Last Supper, Assumption of the Virgin, Christ in the Sepulchre with Two Angels, Stories of the Virgin from Sant'Egidio
