Carmignano is a comune (municipality) of c. 12,000 inhabitants in the province of Prato, part of the Italian region Tuscany. It is located about 20 kilometres (12 mi) west of Florence and about 10 kilometres (6 mi) southwest of Prato. It is the centre of the wine region of the same name.

The most important attraction of the town is the church of San Michele e San Francesco (12th century), which houses a "Visitation" by the Renaissance master Pontormo.
