Pope Urban I between Iustitia and Caritas is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance artist Raphael. It is part of a series of frescoes that decorate the Stanza della Segnatura in the Vatican Palace. Raphael was commissioned by Pope Julius II in the early 16th century to decorate the rooms that would become known as the Raphael Rooms. The Stanza della Segnatura was the first room to be decorated and contains some of Raphael's most famous works, including The School of Athens and The Disputation of the Holy Sacrament.

The fresco of Pope Urban I between Iustitia and Caritas is one of the lesser-known works within the room and is part of the series that illustrates the theme of jurisprudence. In this artwork, Raphael depicts Pope Urban I, who served as the Bishop of Rome from 222 to 230, flanked by personifications of Justice (Iustitia) and Charity (Caritas). The figure of Justice holds a set of scales, symbolizing fairness and the weighing of evidence, while Charity is depicted with children, representing love and generosity.

The fresco is notable for its harmonious composition and the way it integrates the figures with the architectural elements of the room. Raphael's use of color and his ability to convey the characters' dignity and grace exemplify the High Renaissance style. The inclusion of Pope Urban I in this context reflects the Renaissance interest in linking the wisdom of antiquity with Christian virtues, as Urban I was known for his piety and his role in the early Church.

As part of the larger decorative scheme of the Stanza della Segnatura, Pope Urban I between Iustitia and Caritas contributes to the room's overall representation of the four areas of human knowledge and endeavor: theology, philosophy, poetry, and law. The frescoes in this room are considered some of Raphael's masterpieces and are a significant contribution to Renaissance art.

The fresco is a testament to Raphael's skill in composition and his ability to convey complex ideas through allegory and personification. It remains an important work for the study of Renaissance art and the philosophical and cultural ideals of the period.
