Conrad of Asti (died in 1470) was an Italian religious man who was born nearest of Asti in Piedmont. He became Dominican friar and for his virtue and science was elected Master General of his order in 1462, as a candidate of the Pope, after the resignation of his predecessor Marcial Auribelli. In 1465 he renounced to the charge and retired in Asti where he lived entirely dedicated to prayer and study for the rest of his life. He was succeeded by the same Auribelli.
