Simone Barabino (c. 1585- c. 1620 or later) was an Italian painter of the late-Mannerist style. Born in Val de Polcevera, near Genoa, he was mainly active in his native city, where he trained with Bernardo Castello. He feuded with his master and left for Milan. There after some works, he stopped painting. He painted "San Diego restoring sight to blind child" for the Nunziata del Guastato in Genoa. He moved to Milan. He painted a "Dead Christ with the Virgin and Saints Michael and Andrew" for the church of San Girolamo at Milan. He died in penury.
