Francesco Bassano the Younger (originally Francesco Giambattista da Ponte; 15591592) was an Italian painter.

He was born at Bassano del Grappa near Venice, the eldest son of Jacopo Bassano. He studied with his father and worked in the Bassano family workshop along with his three brothers. He moved to Venice where he ran the branch of the family business, but committed suicide by throwing himself out of a window soon after his father's death in 1592.
