"St Bernardino of Siena" is a notable fresco by the Italian Renaissance artist Domenico di Michelino, painted circa 1445. This artwork is significant for its depiction of Bernardino of Siena (1380–1444), a prominent Franciscan preacher, theologian, and missionary who was canonized in 1450 by Pope Nicholas V. The fresco is located in the Basilica of San Lorenzo in Florence, Italy, a church that houses numerous works of art from the Italian Renaissance period.

Domenico di Michelino, born Domenico di Francesco in Florence in 1417 and active until his death in 1491, was a contemporary of many great artists of the time and is best known for his religious compositions and his ability to blend narrative with devout expression. His work on "St Bernardino of Siena" is particularly noted for its detailed portrayal of the saint, capturing his deep spirituality and the fervor of his faith. The fresco showcases St Bernardino holding the IHS Christogram, a symbol that he popularized during his lifetime, which represents the first three letters of the name of Jesus in Greek. This symbol, along with the saint's serene yet powerful gaze, highlights his role in promoting Christian devotion during the 15th century.

The artwork is celebrated for Michelino's mastery in the use of color and light, creating a vivid and lifelike representation of the saint. The fresco's composition, with St Bernardino at its center, surrounded by an ethereal light, emphasizes his importance and influence as a religious figure. Furthermore, the background details and the inclusion of the Florentine landscape serve to situate the saint within the context of the city that held him in great esteem.

"St Bernardino of Siena" by Domenico di Michelino is a testament to the artist's skill and the religious fervor of the period. It remains an important piece of Renaissance art, reflecting the spiritual ideals and artistic achievements of 15th-century Florence.
