Niccolò Soggi (1480?-1552) was an Italian painter who was born in Monte San Savino in the Province of Arezzo, Italy. He was a pupil of Pietro Perugino (1446–1524), and was in Rome during the pontificate of Pope Leo X. Soggi then moved to Prato, Italy where Baldo Magini was his principal patron. He eventually settled in Arezzo, Italy.
