Piero di Cosimo (also known as Piero di Lorenzo) ( 1462- 1521) was an Italian painter. The son of a Florentine goldsmith, he apprenticed under Cosimo Rosseli , whom he assisted in the decoration of the Sistine Chapel.

Piero's students included Andrea del Sarto.

His works include:

Portrait of Simonetta Vespucci (c. 1480)
