Fazzio (Fatius, Fazius, Facius) of Verona (1190–1272) was an Italian saint. A native of Verona, he was a goldsmith who founded a charitable society in Cremona which worked with pilgrims and the sick. It was called the Order of the Holy Spirit. He made pilgrimages on foot to Rome and to Santiago de Compostella.

An artist with the last name Fazzio painted album covers for Crown Records during the 1950s.
