**Francesco Petrarca** (matamshi wa Kiitalia: franˈtʃesko peˈtrarka; Arezzo, 20 Julai 1304 – Arquà, Padua, 18/19 Julai 1374) alikuwa mshairi wa Italia wakati wa mwanzo wa Renaissance. 

Katika karne ya 16, Pietro Bembo alisanifisha Kiitalia kwa kutegemea maandishi ya Petrarca na Giovanni Boccaccio, hata kuliko yale ya Dante Alighieri.
