Oreste Recchione (September 30, 1841 – November 10, 1904) was an Italian painter, mainly of landscapes but also of religious and mythologic paintings.
In 1856, his uncle, a doctor and professor at the University in Naples, brought Recchione to study, where he enrolled in the Academy of Fine Arts of Naples, along with his friend Teofilo Patini, studying under Basilio Puoti, Biagio Molinari, and Giuseppe Mancinelli.
After the fall of the Bourbon monarchy, Recchione helped found the Society for the Promotion of the Arts in Naples.
