Cristoforo Serra (1600–1689) was an Italian painter of the Baroque period, active in Cesena.
Born in Cesena, Serra is exceptional in that painting was not his full-time vocation, yet he was prolific.
He was a militia captain in the Papal troops and only painted "for own enjoyment".
He stayed in Rome in 1623, where he was exposed to the works of Caravaggio and his followers.
He painted a Last Supper in the convent of the Capuchins and a Lucrezia in the art gallery of the Foundation of Cesena Saving Bank.
