Francesco da Castello (Flemish: Frans Van de Casteele) was a Flemish-Italian painter and manuscript illuminator, active in Rome.

The details of his life here were documented by the contemporary artist-biographer Giovanni Baglione.

Francesco painted an Assumption of the Virgin and Saints for the first chapel of San Giacomo degli Spagnoli, Rome.

He painted a 'Martiri Turritani' for the Basilica San Gavino in Porte Torres, Sardegna.

He died at the age of 80 years during the papacy of Pope Clement VIII (1592-1602).
