Angelo Martinetti (1830 in Rome – ?) was an Italian painter, mainly of still-lives depicting game.

He was the brother of the controversial antiquarian and numismatist, Francesco Martinetti (1833–1895).[http://archive.archaeology.org/online/features/hoaxes/praeneste_fibula.html Archeology] article about Praeneste fibula and association with F. Martinetti. Sometime around the year 1870, Angelo donated to the Louvre Museum a club quite similar to the one depicted in the Farnese Hercules statue. This donation was undertaken through the mediation of Count Konstanty Tyszkiewicz of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=HMmmz3enHmYC&dq=angelo+martinetti&pg=PA290 |title=Bulletin de la Société Nationale des Antiquaires de France: 1895 |date=1895 |publisher=De Boccard |pages=289–290 |language=fr |trans-title=Bulletion of the National Society of Antiquary of France: 1895}} He exhibited paintings of game in many exhibitions, including at Turin in 1880 and at Rome in 1883.[http://www.istitutomatteucci.it/it/dizionario-degli-artisti/martinetti-angelo istituto Matteucci] biography.[https://books.google.com/books?id=Zz0bAAAAYAAJ Dizionario degli Artisti Italiani Viventi: pittori, scultori, e Architetti], by Angelo de Gubernatis.
