The Accademia di Belle Arti di Perugia ("Academy of Fine Arts of Perugia") is a public tertiary academy of art in Perugia, in Umbria in central Italy. It is not one of the 20 official Italian state academies of fine art, but is legally recognised by the Ministero dell'Istruzione, dell'Università e della Ricerca, the Italian ministry of education and research, which gives its full name as Accademia di Belle Arti Legalmente Riconosciuta di Perugia "Pietro Vannucci". The academy became an autonomous degree-awarding institution under law no. 508 dated 21 December 1999.

With a foundation year of 1573 makes the Academy (initially called the Academia del Disegno - “Academy of Drawing”), the second for longevity after the Academy of Fine Arts of Florence born just eleven years before. Was born by the impulse of a painter (Orazio Alfani) and an architect and mathematician (Raphael Sozi).

The Royal Academy has an important collection of books, archives and works of art accessible for research and display.
