Giovanni Battista Dordoni or Dordone (died 1599) was an Italian painter active in Castelleone.[1]

Dordoni painted the frescoes depicting Christ and the Apostles in the Sanctuary of the Misericordia in Castelleone.[2] In 1588 he painted the clock face in the Torrazzo in Cremona.[3] One of his pupils was the sculptor Francesco Gritto, called Mombello, also native of Castelleone.[4]
