Julius Caesar Capaccio (1552–1631) was a learned Italian of the 17th century. He was born of a humble family, which he ennobled, in Campania. He studied the civil and canon law at Naples, where he became secretary to the city, and one of the founders of the Academy of Oziosi. The duke of Urbino employed him as tutor to his son. He died in 1631, having written at least seven books.
