Virginia Vezzi, sometimes given as Virginia da Vezzo (1601–1638) was an Italian painter.

Daughter of the painter Pompeo Vezzi, Virginia Vezzi was born in Velletri. Around 1610 the family moved to Rome, where she began the study of art, likely under her father. She married the painter Simon Vouet in 1626 and traveled with him back to France, dying in Paris.[1] She painted history paintings and miniatures, and worked in pastel as well during her career.[2]
