Benedetto Verino (* 1512 , † 1570 ) was probably an Italian engraver , of the Rome of the Renaissance worked.

Based on old sources, assumptions have been made that he could be an illegitimate son of the better-known copper engraver Marco Antonio Raimondi (* 1480, † 1534). Further assumptions to see in him the anonymous copper engraver Meister with the cube were largely rejected in art history.
