Matteo Ghidoni (c.1626 in Florence – 24 January 1689, in Padua) was an Italian painter of the Baroque period. Born in Florence, he was also known as Matteo dei Pitocchi, due to his dotty and flashy brushstrokes. He painted burlesque genre paintings, similar to those of Alessandro Magnasco. He died in Padua.
