Το Campo San Cassiano είναι μια ιστορική πλατεία (campo) στη Βενετία, γνωστή για την εκκλησία του San Cassiano, μια ρωμαιοκαθολική εκκλησία του 14ου αιώνα που βρίσκεται στη συνοικία San Polo. Μια εκκλησία υπήρχε σε αυτό το σημείο από το 726, με το σημερινό κτίριο, αφιερωμένο στον Άγιο Κασσιανό της Ίμολα, να έχει καθαγιαστεί το 1376 και να έχει αναδιαμορφωθεί κατά τον 17ο αιώνα. Η εκκλησία φιλοξενεί τρεις πίνακες του Ιταλού καλλιτέχνη Τιντορέτο, συμπεριλαμβανομένης της "Σταύρωσης του Χριστού" που ζωγραφίστηκε το 1568, την οποία ο κριτικός τέχνης John Ruskin περιέγραψε ως "την καλύτερη [απεικόνιση της Σταύρωσης] στην Ευρώπη". Επιπλέον, το πιο διάσημο έργο που συνδέεται με την εκκλησία είναι το "San Cassiano Altarpiece" του Antonello da Messina, το οποίο ήταν το πρώτο σημαντικό παράδειγμα ελαιογραφίας στην πόλη. Αυτό το έργο εξαφανίστηκε από την εκκλησία τον 17ο αιώνα και κόπηκε σε τμήματα. Η εκκλησία βρίσκεται στο Campo San Cassiano, το οποίο ήταν η τοποθεσία του πρώτου δημόσιου οπερατικού θεάτρου στον κόσμο, δυτικά της Γέφυρας του Ριάλτο, και είναι ανοιχτή για επισκέπτες τα πρωινά από Τρίτη έως Σάββατο.
