Johannes De Matta, also known as Juan de Matta (15th century – 16th century) was a Spanish painter.
He was born in Valencia. Few and fragmentary biographical details are known about his professional training, which included a stay in Naples at the beginning of the 16th century.
He was primarily active in the areas surrounding modern-day Madonie. De Matta resided in Polizzi Generosa, where he also ran his workshop. The artist is documented to have also visited Palermo in the period between 1536 and 1537.
Some of his works can be found in Termini Imerese, Caltagirone and Sutera.
