Giovanni Francesco Camocio (also Camozzi; 1501-1575) was a Venetian cartographer, map publisher, and printer. He was one of the most prolific members of the so-called Lafreri school of Italian cartographers in the second half of the 16th century. The end of Camocio's career coincided with the plague epidemic that ravaged Venice between 1574 and 1577. Since there are no records of him after 1575, it is very likely that he succumbed to the plague.
