Don Luis de Góngora y Argote is a portrait by the Spanish painter Diego Rodríguez de Silva y Velázquez, depicting the renowned poet Luis de Góngora y Argote. This artwork is significant as it captures Góngora at the age of around fifty-two, dressed in clerical attire, reflecting his status and the somber, intellectual aura associated with his literary persona. The portrait is executed with Velázquez's characteristic attention to detail and psychological depth, which allows viewers to engage not only with Góngora's physical appearance but also with his complex personality.

The painting is noted for its restrained color palette and the stark contrast between the dark background and the lighter tones of Góngora's face and clothing, highlighting the introspective nature of the subject. Velázquez's skill in rendering textures is evident in the depiction of the fabrics and the lifelike quality of Góngora's skin and hair.

This portrait is often analyzed in the context of Velázquez's broader body of work, as it exemplifies his ability to convey the dignity and inner life of his subjects, making it a valuable piece for studies in both art history and Spanish Golden Age literature.
