"Country Politician" is an oil painting by American artist George Caleb Bingham, created 1849. The piece is a notable example of Bingham's genre paintings that depict everyday life in 19th-century America, focusing on the rural Midwest. This artwork is currently housed at the Terra Foundation for American Art, Chicago.

"Country Politician", Bingham represented the democratic spirit of the era, focusing on a political figure engaged in an informal and intimate discussion with constituents in a local tavern. The central figure, presumably the politician, is seen debating with a common man, in an environment that represents rural democracy.

The painting aptly illustrates Bingham's skill in rendering details in clothing and surfaces as well as his effective use of light and shadow to imbue a sense of realism in the scene. The representation of the politician interacting with ordinary citizens in a common setting showcases Bingham's interest in the political workings of frontier society, a theme that has made him a significant figure in 19th-century American genre painting.

"Country Politician" is known as one of many Bingham's works that encapsulate the social and political intricacies of life during his time, offering a viewpoint into mid-19th century American democracy, and its unique relationship with the rural population. Notably, his painting style demonstrates the influence of the luminist and Hudson River School styles, visible in the meticulous detailing and rich color palette.

Through visual narrative elements and keen attention to detail, "Country Politician" continues to be a valuable source of socio-political interpretation for historians and art scholars studying 19th-century America.
