Benedetto Accolti the younger (29 October 1497 – 21 September 1549) was an Italian cardinal. He was born in Florence, Italy, the son of Michele Accolti, patrician of Arezzo, and Lucrezia Alamanni. He died in Florence of an apoplexy. He was a nephew of Cardinal Pietro Accolti and therefore was known as Il Giovane or the Cardinal of Ravenna.
