Giovanni Francesco Toscani (1372 - 2 May 1430) was an Italian painter.

Born in Florence, he was the pupil of Giottino, in whose style he painted. His masterpiece is said to have been an Annunciation for a chapel of the Bishop's palace in Arezzo. It was restored by Agnolo di Lorenzo, and later by Vasari. Toscani was buried in Santa Maria del Fiore.
