Carlo Zimech

Don Carlo Zimech (, 1696 – 22 June 1766) was a Maltese priest and painter. He was born within a well-off family in Żebbuġ on mainland Malta. In his later life, he retired to Nadur, Gozo, possibly because of health problems. He died in his residence on 22 June 1766, and was buried in the Nadur parish church.

Paintings attributed to Zimech include: The Annunciation, at the sacristy of the Balzan parish church San Carlo, at the Church of Our Lady of Sorrows, Pietà – this is signed with his initials DCZ and it was transferred to Xagħra in 1744–51. Zimech might have modified the painting to fit in its new location.

Some of Zimech's work has been erroneously attributed to the architect and poet Carlo Gimach due to the similarity of their names. Gimach lived in Portugal and Rome during Zimech's lifespan, and there is no evidence that he was a painter.

A street in Nadur is named after him, Triq Dun Karlu Zimech (Don Carlo Zimech Street).
