Flaminio Ponzio (1560–1613) was an Italian architect during the late-Renaissance or so-called Mannerist period, serving in Rome as the architect for Pope Paul V.
Ponzio was born in Viggiù near Varese, and he died in Rome. After juvenile training in Milan, he moved to Rome, where he worked briefly with Domenico Fontana.

Villa Borghese Pinciana or ("Borghese villa on the Pincian Hill"; 1609-1613), also referred to as the Casino Nobile on the site, which presently is the suburban villa hosting the museum known as the Galleria Borghese. Originally commissioned by the rapacious mecenas, Scipione Borghese, who appears to have played a role in the design. He likely played a role in the design of the gardens and grounds surrounding the villa, and collaborated or was supplanted after his death by Vasanzio (Jan Van Santen).
