"The Last Miracle and Death of St. Zenobius" is a painting by the Italian Renaissance master Sandro Botticelli, c. 1500-1505. It was part of series of four pictures displaying episodes of the life of the saint, which is the last known work by the Florentine painter. It is housed in the Gemäldegalerie of Dresden.

This last picture shows a child run over by a cart while playing. His mother, a widow, wails as she brings the dead child to St. Zenobius' deacon. By means of a prayer not depicted here, St. Zenobius is able to revive the child and restore him to his mother. On the far right, the bishop, who has meanwhile turned gray, blesses those praying by his deathbed.

The first three parts are:
* "Baptism of St. Zenobius and His Appointment as Bishop" and the "Three Miracles of St. Zenobius" , in the National Gallery, London
* "Three Miracles of St. Zenobius" in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York
