"William Penn's Treaty with the Indians" is an oil on canvas painting by American artist Benjamin West, completed in 1771-72. The painting depicts a legendary meeting between William Penn, the founder of the Province of Pennsylvania, and a group of Lenape (Delaware) Native Americans. This event is said to have taken place under an elm tree at Shackamaxon, in what is now the Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia, in 1682 or 1683.

West's painting is an idealized representation of the treaty, which has become an iconic symbol of peaceful coexistence and fair dealing between European colonists and Native Americans. The artwork is notable for its romanticized yet dignified portrayal of the Native Americans, reflecting the Quaker principles of equality and respect that Penn espoused. The composition of the painting, with Penn and the Native American leaders in the center, surrounded by attentive figures from both groups, emphasizes the significance of the moment and the mutual recognition of each other's humanity.

"William Penn's Treaty with the Indians" is part of a series of works by West that focus on the history of the American colonies and the early United States. The painting is held in the collection of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia. It has been widely reproduced and has played a role in shaping the popular narrative of Pennsylvania's founding and early American history. Benjamin West, who was born in Pennsylvania, became the second president of the Royal Academy in London and was a prominent history painter of his time. His depiction of William Penn's treaty remains one of his most recognized works and continues to be a subject of study for its artistic and historical significance.
