Enoch of Ascoli (c. 1400 – c. 1457) was a humanist and agent of Nicholas V in charge of collecting manuscripts around Europe for the newly founded library of the pope.

He is notably responsible for the finding and retrieval, from a German monastery, of the only existing manuscript of Tacitus's minor books.
