Raimondo Cunich (born in Dubrovnik January 17, 1719 - died in Rome November 22, 1794) was a Greek and Latin humanist.
Cunich entered the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) in Rome in 1734, becoming, along with Roger Boscovich, one of the most illustrious academics produced by the Republic of Dubrovnik.
He spent 27 years teaching Latin and Greek in Florence, Rome and other parts of Italy. He wrote several elegant orations, including one for the Pope Clement XIII, and many epigrams and elegies following Tibullo and Catullo. He translated Teocrito and the epigrammi of the Greek Anthology. His best-known work is the Latin translation of The Iliad.
