Francesco Zucchi (Venice, 1692–1764),^[1] was an Italian engraver, active mainly in Northern Italy.

He was the brother of Andrea (1679–1740) and Carlo Zucchi (1682-1767)^[2] and was instructed by Andrea in Pordenone.^[3] He is also described as close to Pietro Scalvini.^[4]

He was invited to Dresden to engrave some plates from the pictures in the Gallery but his work was interrupted by the Seven Years' War.^[3] According to Henry Fuseli, Zucchi never actually went to Dresden but he was sending his works from Venice instead.^[3] His artistic production includes reproductions of paintings, city views of Venice, Brescia, Brixen (Bressanone) and many illustrations for books^[5] including the 1742 Italian translation of the Paradise Lost by Milton.^[6] He died in 1764.
