The "Portrait of Simonetta Vespucci" is a painting by the Italian Renaissance painter Piero di Cosimo, c. 1480. It is housed in the Musée Condé of Chantilly, France.

Piero was frequently patronized by the most powerful families, for whom he executed not only permanent painted works, but also temporary designs for spectacular festivals. His portrait of the noted Florentine beauty Simonetta Vespucci shows his range as a painter and also exemplifies a certain type of commission for private families.
