Lo Spagna (died c. 1529) was a painter of the High-Renaissance, active in central Italy. His name was Giovanni di Pietro, but known as Lo spagno because he was born in Spain.
After Raphael, he was a main pupil and follower of the Umbrian painter Perugino, to whom his painters bear high resemblance. He should not be confused with Pietro di Giovanni D'Ambrogio, the brother of the Siennese painter Vecchietta in Siena.
