Orazio Riminaldi (1586 – 10 December 1631) was an Italian painter of the Baroque period.
Riminaldi was born at Pisa. He was a pupil of the painter Ranieri Borghetti, then Aurelio Lomi, and finally Orazio Gentileschi. He painted in a Caravaggist style in Rome, and returned to Pisa, ultimately choosing a muted style. He painted the Martyrdom of St. Cecilia previously in the Palazzo Pitti, there is a copy in the church of St. Catherine of Pisa. He painted a Samson slaying the Philistines (1626) and the Assumption of the Virgin (completed posthumously by his brother Girolamo) for the cathedral of Pisa. He died of the plague in 1630.
