Agostino Agazzari (2 December 1578 – 10 April 1640) was an Italian composer and music theorist. Agazzari was born in Siena to an aristocratic family. After working in Rome, as a teacher at the Roman College, he returned to Siena in 1607, becoming first organist and later choirmaster of the cathedral there. He was a close friend of Lodovico Grossi da Viadana, the early innovator of the basso continuo. Agazzari wrote several books of sacred music, madrigals and the pastoral drama Eumelio (1606).
