Sigismondo Caula (1637–1724) was an Italian painter of the Baroque style.
Caula was born in Modena, where he was the pupil of Jean Boulanger (painter), Jean Boulanger, but finished his studies at Venice, from the works of Titian and Tintoretto. Besides his Altarpiece, altar-pieces, he painted Cabinet painting, cabinet pictures for private collections. His best production was his large picture of ''St Charles Borromeo assisting the plague-stricken people of Modena'', which was painted, with great vigor and expression, for the church of San Carlo, Modena, but now at the Galleria Estense, Este Gallery at Modena. That gallery also displays a ''St Ambrose'' by Caula. In the latter portion of his life he became more languid in his coloring and execution. He painted as late as 1694.
