The Tomba Claudio Bettini , usually only referred to as 5513 in older research, is an Etruscan grave found in 1967 in the Monterozzi necropolis near Tarquinia . The grave dates to around 450 BC. Chr. Or shortly after. It was renamed in 2007 after the restorer Claudio Bettini (1940–1997).

The tomb is a small subterranean chamber with painted walls. The paintings are not well preserved. The back wall shows a banquet scene. Various male participants lie on the Klinen . Women stand. A naked servant is shown on the right. On the right side wall there are musicians and dancers between trees. In the middle of the tomb there is a shaft with a frieze painted with wavy lines.

The paintings in the tomb show some similarities with the Tomba del Triclinio and the Tomba del Letto Funebre . It is believed that these graves were made by the same workshop, although the Tomba Claudio Bettini was painted a little later. The paintings in both graves are heavily influenced by Attic vase painting .
