"Saint Benedict Orders Saint Maurus to the Rescue of Saint Placidius" is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance painter Fra Filippo Lippi. This artwork is part of a series of frescoes painted by Lippi in the 15th century, located in the Apse of the Church of San Lorenzo in Florence, Italy. The fresco depicts a miraculous event from the lives of Saint Benedict, Saint Maurus, and Saint Placidius, which is a narrative derived from the early chapters of "The Life of Saint Benedict," written by Pope Gregory I.

The scene captures the moment when Saint Benedict, the founder of the Benedictine monastic order, instructs Saint Maurus to save the young Saint Placidius, who is seen drowning in a lake. According to the legend, Saint Benedict had the supernatural vision of Placidius' plight even though he was not physically present at the location. He then sent Maurus to rescue him, who miraculously walked on water to save Placidius at the command of Saint Benedict.

Fra Filippo Lippi's representation of this miraculous rescue is noted for its dynamic composition and the emotional expressions of the figures. The fresco showcases Lippi’s skill in creating narrative drama and his ability to convey deep spiritual themes through art. The use of color and detailed landscapes also reflects the typical characteristics of the Italian Renaissance style. This fresco not only serves as a religious inspiration but also as an important cultural artifact reflecting the religious beliefs and artistic achievements of the Renaissance period in Florence.
