Francesco Signorelli (c.1495–1553) was a 16th-century Italian Renaissance painter.

Not much is known about Signorelli's life except through his works. He was born, and lived and worked his whole life in and around Cortona. He primarily painted religious-themed paintings for church commissions. One work executed by Francesco Signorelli Madonna and Child is part of the National Museums Liverpool collection.[1]
