Villa di Marignolle is a historic estate in the hills between Galluzzo and Soffiano in the southwestern suburbs of Florence, Italy, associated with the Medici family after Francesco I de' Medici confiscated the property from Lorenzo di Piero Ridolfi following the Pucci Conspiracy and gave it to his illegitimate son Antonio. The painter Giusto Utens depicted the villa in a lunette between 1599 and 1602, providing an early record of its appearance. As of 2025 it remains a private residence and is not among the fourteen Medici villas designated UNESCO World Heritage Sites in 2013.
