Michele Pace del Campidoglio (1610-1670), was an Italian painter of fruit and flowers.

Pace del Campidoglio was born in Rome in 1610. He was a scholar of Fioravanti, and was called 'Di Campidoglio' from an office he held in the Campidoglio, or Capitol, at Rome. There was a fine picture by him in the collection of John Churchill, 1st Duke of Marlborough at Blenheim, and many others are to be found in England. He died in 1670.
