Cesare Torelli Romano was an Italian painter.

He was born in Rome, and a pupil of Giovanni de' Vecchi. He flourished in the pontificate of Paul V, and was employed both as a painter and a mosaicist in the library of the Vatican, and in the Scala Santa in San Giovanni Laterano. He painted two Sibyls in the church of La Madonna del Orto. He died in 1615.
