Diogo Homem (1521–1576) was a Portuguese cartographer, son of Lopo Homem and member of a family of cartographers.^[1]

Condemned for murder, he was exiled to Africa from Portugal in 1545, appearing in England a couple of years later. He subsequently lived in Venice, producing numerous manuscript atlases and charts, many of them of the Mediterranean.^[1]

The work of Diogo Homem is of an exceptional graphical quality and beauty, being kept in Italy, Austria, United Kingdom, France, the USA, and Portugal.^{[citation needed]}
