Benedito Calixto de Jesus (14 October 1853 – 31 May 1927) was a Brazilian painter.
His works usually depicted figures from Brazil and Brazilian culture, including a famous portrait of the bandeirante Domingos Jorge Velho in 1923, and scenes from the coastline of São Paulo.
Unlike many artists of the time, Calixto's patron was an individual other than the state, who were "the most dependable source of patronage."
