Angelo Francesco Ramazzotti (3 August 1800 – 24 September 1861) was an Italian Roman Catholic who served as the Patriarch of Venice.
He established the Pontifical Institute for Foreign Missions in 1850.
Ramazzotti had served as the Bishop of Pavia prior to his relocation to Venice and died less than a week before Pope Pius IX could elevate him to the cardinalate. He became well known across Venice for his love of the people and for his careful attention and consideration of the social and pastoral issues that faced the archdiocese.
He brought to Venice his sense of calmness and resolve in tending to the social needs of the poor and to all people in general as a means of rekindling the Christian virtues in Venice. His cause of beatification has commenced and he was bestowed with the title of Servant of God in 1976.
Pope Francis recognized his life of heroic virtue and conferred upon him the title of Venerable on 14 December 2015.
