Girolamo da Santacroce (c. 1480/85 – c. 1556) was a 16th-century Italian painter of the Renaissance period, active mainly in Venice and the Venetian mainland. He was a pupil of the painter Gentile Bellini. After Gentile's death, Santacroce most likely worked as an assistant to another Venetian painter, Giovanni Bellini and worked in the workshop of Cima da Conegliano. One work executed by Girolamo da Santa Croce A Saint with a Fortress and a Banner can be found at the National Gallery.[1]

Girolamo da Santacroce should not be confused with Girolamo Santacroce (c. 1502 – c. 1537), the Neapolitan sculptor.
