Giovanni Antonio Galli, also called lo Spadarino (baptized January 16, 1585 – after June 1651),

• Was an Italian Baroque artist.
• He was a member of the Caravaggisti (followers of Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio).
• He was born in Rome.
• He is known to have been working in Rome in 1597.
• In 1616 he worked on the decoration of the Sala Regia in the Palazzo del Quirinale with Carlo Saraceni.
 Elisabetta Giffi Ponzi says that Galli's later works, such as the Palazzo Madama frescoes, show a stylistic decline resulting from his ambivalence toward new trends in Roman art.
