Villa Muti is a villa in Frascati, Italy, now within the commune of Grottaferrata, whose construction began in 1579 under Ludovico Cerasoli. The interior preserves Baroque frescoes by Giovanni Lanfranco, Pietro da Cortona, Ludovico Cigoli and Domenico Passignano, and its grounds combine formal and English-style gardens with Mannerist sculptural ornamentation developed further around 1850. The municipality of Grottaferrata acquired the villa at the end of the Second World War, and it is not currently open to the public.
