Felice Ficherelli (30 August 1605 – 5 March 1660) was an Italian painter of the Baroque period, born in San Gimignano and active mainly in Tuscany.
Among Ficherelli's early patrons was Conte Bardi, who persuaded Ficherelli to move to Florence and to study with the painter Jacopo da Empoli.
Empoli's influence is evident in the sumptuous fabrics seen in many of Ficherelli's works.
Ficherelli was nicknamed "Felice Riposo" for his retiring nature. There is a controversial copy of Ficherelli's Saint Praxedis, which appears to be signed by Johannes Vermeer and dated 1655.
