Girolamo Bellarmato or Girolamo Bellarmati (Siena, 24 August 1493 - Chalon-sur-Saône, April 28, 1555) was an Italian architect, engineer and cartographer.

He studied in Urbino and taught mathematics in various Italian cities. In 1536, in Rome published the first edition of an exceptional map of the region of Tuscany, the Cartographia Tusciae.
