Agostino Panozzi (10 August 1810 – 6 March 1839) was an Italian painter, active in Vicenza.[1]

He was born in Arcugnano in the province of Vicenza. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts of Venice from 1828 to 1831.

A Communion (or Coronation) of Saint Louis at the Pinacoteca Civica of Bologna is attributed to the painter.[2] He also painted a Death of Archimedes (1832), also in the museums of Vicenza.

He painted an altarpiece depicting the Miracle of the Mule (1834) for the Cathedral of Cologna Veneta[3] Returning to Vicenza in 1835, he aspired to establish a school to teach figure painting. He painted some canvases, now lost, for Monte Berico. He developed paralysis of the legs, and despite, or due to surgery, died in Padua.[4]
