Vincenzo Borghini OSB (29 October 1515 – 15 August 1580) was an Italian monk, artist, philologist, and art collector of Florence, Italy.

[3] He was one of the persons appointed to correct the Decameron of Giovanni Boccaccio by order of the Council of Trent, and performed this task for the edition of Florence, 1573.

[1] Borghini was the inspiration behind the foundation of the Accademia della Crusca (1583), suggesting to Cosimo I de' Medici the names of a committee, including its future president Lionardo Salviati.

Borghini’s work remains largely unpublished, mainly because of his unsystematic method of jotting down sporadic notes, and the difficulty of some of his handwriting.

Borghini's fame reached a new height in the 19th century, and selections from his manuscripts were published sporadically, notably La Ruscelleide (Città di Castello, Lapi, 1898), a bitter satire against Girolamo Ruscelli, and the brief autobiographical notes Ricordi intorno alla sua vita (Florence, Libreria Editrice Fiorentina, 1909).
