Familiare del Boccati was an artist active in Tuscany in the second half of the fifteenth century, identified by the scholar Roberto Longhi and whose oeuvre comprises a number of works including a Madonna and Child with Two Angels in the Louvre, and a Coronation of the Virgin in the Städel Museum, Frankfurt. His moniker relates to Longhi's observation that the artist's style has similarities with that of Giovanni Boccati, active in Marche and Umbria between 1445 and 1480. 

Modern scholarship, meanwhile, has disputed the Familiare's association with this region and Andrea de Marchi considers him to have been a Lucchese painter, linking him to the Master of Benabbio (now identified as Baldassare di Biagio del Firenze) and Matteo Civitali, both of whom were active in Lucca during the same period.
