Fra Girolamo Bonsignori, (miscalled Monsignori; 1472–1549) was an Italian artist.

At an early period in his life he became a monk of the order of the Dominicans, and in the church of his monastery he executed some altar-pieces.

[1] At the end of the 17th century on in the early 18th century it was bought by Count d'Espagnac and led to the Abbey of Santa Maria della Vangadizza in Badia Polesine, Veneto, where it remained until 1982 when the last heir of the D'Espagnac, Michel de Rostolan, sold it to the town of Badia Polesine, now restored and in excellent condition is preserved in the museum civic Barufaldi, Badia Polesine.

Among his early paintings there is, besides the altar-piece, a Last Supper in the Dominican monastery, and a Madonna in fresco in Santa Anastasia at Verona.

Another brother of Francesco, Fra Cherubino Bonsignori, excelled in miniature painting.
