"Black Boat" is a painting by Alfred Wallis (1855–1942), a British fisherman and artist known for his naive style and maritime subjects. Wallis began painting in his later years, following the death of his wife, and his work reflects his intimate knowledge of the sea and ships from his time as a mariner in Cornwall. "Black Boat" is characteristic of Wallis's approach to art, featuring a simplified depiction of a vessel, often rendered in a perspective that reflects his self-taught background rather than the conventions of trained artists.

The painting is executed in a limited palette, dominated by the titular black, and is composed in a way that conveys a sense of movement and the ruggedness of seafaring life. Wallis's use of materials was often unconventional, as he painted on found objects such as cardboard, using ship paint and other inexpensive or readily available resources. This practice contributed to the textured and raw aesthetic of his work.

"Black Boat" is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its place within the context of British modern art. Wallis's work was discovered by established artists Ben Nicholson and Christopher Wood in 1928, and he subsequently gained recognition among the St Ives group of artists. His influence on British modernism was notable, as his intuitive approach to painting and representation of the Cornish landscape and lifestyle provided a fresh perspective that resonated with the more formally trained artists of his time.

Today, Alfred Wallis's "Black Boat" is appreciated for its historical value and its representation of the artist's unique vision. It is part of the collection of the Kettle's Yard gallery in Cambridge, England, which houses a number of Wallis's works. The painting continues to be an important piece for the study of outsider art and the narrative it provides of the early 20th-century art scene in Cornwall.
