Silvestro de' Gigli, of Lucca, was a Late Middle Ages and High Renaissance Bishop of Worcester, the second of four Italian absentees to hold the see before the Reformation.[1]

He succeeded his uncle, Giovanni de' Gigli, was nominated on 24 December 1498 and consecrated about 6 April 1499.[2] He was implicated but never charged in the 1514 murder by poison of Cardinal and Archbishop of York Christopher Bainbridge.[3] He died on 16 April 1521.[2] The position was then held by Giulio de' Medici, the Cardinal protector of England.[1]
