Dominic Vallarsi (13 November 1702 – 14 August 1771) was an Italian priest, born in Verona.

He studied with the Jesuits at Verona and after his elevation to the priesthood occupied himself chiefly in archæological and Patristic studies. In his searches for manuscripts and other antiquities he was aided financially by the City of Verona and its bishop, as well as by Benedict XIV, who gave him a benefice in the Diocese of Vicenza and appointed him reviser for the Semitic languages at the Holy Office. He was also highly respected for his archæological learning by such men as Muratori, Apostolo Zeno, Giammaria Mazzucchelli, and others.
