Giovanni Guido Agrippa (active c. 1501), was an Italian medalist[1] active in Venice.

One, titled A Triumph, with Venice Crowning Leonardo Loredano as Doge is held at the US National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC. The other is in the collection of the British Museum[2] The Yale Art Gallery also has a medal[3]
