Margherita Caffi (1650 – 20 September 1710) was an Italian painter of still lifes of flowers and fruit. She was born Margherita Volo, in Milan to Francesco Volo (a still-life painter himself) and his wife, Veronica. In 1668, she married Ludivico Caffi (also a still-life painter) in Cremona. She settled in Piacenza in 1670. She is known to have had at least four children. She died in Milan at the age of sixty.

There are a number of unsigned paintings depicting "still lives with flowers", previously attributed to Francesco Guardi, known as Pseudo-Guradi Maestro di Fiori Guardeschi, but now postulated as likely the work of either Francesco Duramano, Carlo Henrici, Elisabetta Marchioni, and/or Margherita.
