Coronation of the Virgin is an oil-on-canvas painting executed c. 1539 by the Italian Renaissance painter Domenico Beccafumi, now in the Pinacoteca nazionale in Siena.

Commissioned by the monks of Ognissanti in Siena, it was moved to Santo Spirito church after that church was destroyed and was only recently moved to the gallery.^[1] Unusually for the subject, its lower register shows not the apostles but three saints and a pope, namely Mary Magdalene, Anthony of Padua, Pope Gregory XI and Catherine of Alexandria.
