Francesco Morandini (c. 1544–1597) was an Italian painter active in Florence working in a Mannerist style. He was also called il Poppi after his native town. He was a pupil of Vincenzo Borghini and later he was Giorgio Vasari’s assistant for many years. He participated in the Vincenzo Borghini and Giorgio Vasari-directed decoration of the Studiolo of Francesco I with two canvases: one relating a Alexander and Campaspe (1571) and the other depicting a Foundry (1572).
