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

Agrippa was of the lower nobility, and was in the service of the Doge Leonardo Loredan, on whose behalf he made at least two commemorative medals, which were probably for his inauguration in 1501.

One 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]
