Domenico Vincenzo Maria Puccini (1772 – 25 May 1815) was an Italian composer, a contemporary of Muzio Clementi and Johann Nepomuk Hummel.

Puccini was born in Lucca into a Tuscan musical family of at least five generations: his father was Antonio Puccini, his son was Michele Puccini and his grandson was Giacomo Puccini.

His works include a piano concerto in B and several dozen piano sonatas.

Puccini died in Lucca in 1815.
