Guido da Vigevano (* around 1280 in Pavia ; † around 1350 , probably in Paris ) was an Italian doctor and inventor.

Guido da Vigevano probably studied medicine in Bologna . He practiced as a doctor in Pavia and from 1310 to 1313 was the personal physician of Emperor Henry VII. And then of Maria von Luxemburg , wife of the French King Charles IV. From 1335 to 1349 he was personal physician of Queen Joan of France (Jeanne de Bourgogne ), the wife of King Philip VI. of France . He created the first Dissecting and section instructions for teaching purposes. For an upcoming crusade of the king he wrote a treatise that contains medical advice in the first part and construction drawings of military equipment in the second part, including armored chariots, crank-driven and wind-driven chariots and siege engines . There is still no geometrically constructed perspective in the drawings.
