Villa Medici is a patrician villa in Fiesole, Tuscany, Italy. It is the fourth oldest of the villas built for the Medici family and was built between 1451 and 1457. It is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site inscribed as Medici Villas and Gardens in Tuscany.
The villa is located near Villa San Girolamo. Its location and history are also noted in popular culture, including Michael Ondaatje's 1992 novel The English Patient, where the titular character identifies a ruined convent as either Villa Bruscoli or Villa Medici in Fiesole.
