Artemide Zatti (12 October 1880 – 15 March 1951) was an Italian Roman Catholic professed religious of the Salesians of Don Bosco and a noted pharmacist who emigrated to Argentina in 1897. Zatti became a professed Salesian in 1911 and became well known for his ardent faith and commitment to the sick. He was made a Saint on 9 October 2022 in the Catholic Church.
His nephew was the eighth rector of the Salesians – Juan Edmundo Vecchi.
Zatti was beatified on 14 April 2002. On 9 April 2022, Pope Francis approved a second miracle attributed to Zatti. This paved the way for Zatti's canonization on 9 October 2022.
