St Mary Magdalene Reading is a painting by the Italian Renaissance painter Piero di Cosimo.

It is housed in the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Antica of Palazzo Barberini, Rome.

The work depicts Mary Magdalene at a window-like table, reading a bible.

She is dressed in a contemporary multicolor gown and cape; she is identifiable as the Magdalen by her long slightly curled hair draping over her shoulders and the bottle of unguent on the shelf beside her.

The use of shadows to give dimension to the face, and the settled pose of the Magdalen, identify the work as emerging from Piero di Cosimo's late works, influence by Leonardo da Vinci.
