Giovanni Battista Discepoli (1590–1660) was an Italian painter of the Baroque period active mainly in Milan. Born in Lugano he was called by some Lo Zoppo di Lugano from his being a cripple. He was a pupil of the painter Camillo Procaccini. In Milan he painted a Purgatory for the church of San Carlo and an Adoration of the Magi originally painted for San Marcello is now in the Brera Gallery.
