"Saint Jerome Writing," also known as "St. Jerome in His Study" or "St. Jerome," is a painting by the Italian Baroque master Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, executed around 1605–1606. The painting depicts Saint Jerome, a Doctor of the Church and the translator of the Bible into Latin from Hebrew and Greek, in the act of writing. This theme was common in the iconography of St. Jerome during the Renaissance and Baroque periods, often showing him in a contemplative state as he works on his translation of the Bible, known as the Vulgate.

Caravaggio's interpretation of St. Jerome is notable for its dramatic use of chiaroscuro and the intense realism for which the artist is renowned. The saint is portrayed as an elderly, yet muscular man, absorbed in his scholarly activity, surrounded by the tools of his work, including books, papers, and the cardinal's hat, which signifies his status within the Church. The deep reds and earthy browns of the composition, along with the strong contrast between light and shadow, create a sense of depth and focus the viewer's attention on the figure of the saint and his intellectual endeavor.

The painting is one of several versions of St. Jerome that Caravaggio created during his career. It is currently housed in the Galleria Borghese in Rome. As with many of Caravaggio's works, "Saint Jerome Writing" is admired for its emotional power and technical mastery, reflecting the artist's innovative contributions to the Baroque style. The work's provenance, stylistic analysis, and the particular historical context of its creation have been subjects of scholarly interest, contributing to the understanding of Caravaggio's oeuvre and the broader artistic landscape of the early 17th century.
