Benozzo Federighi (died 1450) was a Roman Catholic prelate who served as Bishop of Fiesole (1421–1450).

Biography

On 17 November 1421, Benozzo Federighi was appointed during the papacy of Pope Martin V as Bishop of Fiesole. He served as Bishop of Fiesole until his death in 1450.

While bishop, he was a principal co-consecrator of Antonio Forcilioni, Archbishop of Florence (1446). His elegant tomb monument, once in San Francesco di Paolo in Oltrarno, was moved to the church of Santa Trinita in 1895.

A copy of the Federighi grave is held in the Cast Court of the Victoria and Albert Museum.
