"Pope Innocent X" is a portrait by the Spanish painter Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez, one of the most prominent artists of the European Baroque period. Completed during Velázquez's second trip to Italy, between 1649 and 1650, the painting is a striking depiction of Giovanni Battista Pamphilj, who reigned as Pope Innocent X from 1644 to 1655. The work is housed in the Galleria Doria Pamphilj in Rome.

The portrait is renowned for its penetrating realism and the masterful use of color and light, which capture the complex personality and psychological depth of the sitter. Velázquez's skill in rendering textures and materials is evident in the sumptuous reds of the Pope's cape and the intricate lace of his stole. The Pope's intense gaze and the subtle interplay of light and shadow on his face convey a sense of authority and introspection, making the painting one of the most powerful papal portraits of its time.

Measuring 141 cm × 119 cm (55 in × 47 in), the oil on canvas work is considered one of Velázquez's finest portraits and a masterpiece of baroque portraiture. The painting's influence extends beyond its era, having inspired numerous artists and gaining acclaim for its psychological acuity and technical prowess. "Pope Innocent X" is often compared to another famous papal portrait, Raphael's "Portrait of Pope Julius II," as both works epitomize the artists' ability to capture the essence of their papal subjects.

Velázquez's portrait of Innocent X has been subject to various interpretations and has been widely discussed in art historical literature, not only for its artistic qualities but also for the insights it provides into the relationship between artist and subject, and the political and religious context of the 17th century.
