Cristofano Robetta (1462 – 1535) was an Italian artist, goldsmith, and engraver.[1]

Robetta was a Florentine "who made some rich, intricate engravings in the fine manner".[2] He often made engravings which replicated paintings others had done, some of which preserved works that had otherwise been destroyed.[citation needed]

Some of his works reside at the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Metropolitan Museum of Art.[3]
