Cristoforo di Geremia (c. 1430-1476) was an Italian medalist and goldsmith active in Rome and Mantua during the Renaissance. He created portrait medals for several popes and humanist scholars, working in the tradition established by Pisanello.
His medals are prized for their sharply modeled portraits and elaborate reverse compositions featuring allegorical scenes. A medal of Pope Paul II and his work for the papal court demonstrate his status as one of the leading medalists of the mid-15th century.
