Jean-Damascène Sallusti, also Giovanni Damasceno (simplified Chinese: 安德义; traditional Chinese: 安德義; pinyin: Ān Déyì; d. 1781) was an Italian missionary to China, as well as a court painter under the Qianlong Emperor of the Qing dynasty.

A member of the Augustinian order, and later a Jesuit, Sallusti was (somewhat controversially) appointed Bishop of Beijing in 1778, a position he held until his death in 1781.[1][2][3][4][5] As a painter, he was a contemporary of Giuseppe Castiglione and Ignatius Sichelbart, and with them was responsible for the creation of the Emperor's "Battle Copper Prints", commemorating the I-li campaign.[6][7] Work by Sallusti is held in the collection of the Cleveland Museum of Art.[8]
