Vincenzo Pasquale Angelo Petrocelli (6 July 1823 – 2 February 1896) was a Neapolitan artist.

Petrocelli was born in Cervaro in the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies (now in Lazio). He studied under Domenico Morelli, and was active as a painter from about 1850. He was principally a history painter, but also painted portraits and genre scenes. His sons Achille and Arturo were both painters.
