"Benjamin West" is an oil on canvas portrait by the American painter Gilbert Stuart, completed in 1783-84. The painting depicts Benjamin West (1738–1820), an Anglo-American history painter who was the second president of the Royal Academy in London. West was a significant figure in the art world of his time, known for his large-scale history paintings that often contained figures from classical mythology and the Bible.

Gilbert Stuart (1755–1828), one of the most acclaimed portraitists in America during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, is best known for his portraits of American political figures, most notably the series of George Washington. The portrait of Benjamin West is particularly notable as it captures the artist in his middle age, dressed in a brown coat with a white cravat, his gaze contemplative and directed slightly away from the viewer.

The work is an example of Stuart's skill in rendering the human face and his ability to convey the character and intellect of his sitters. The portrait is also a testament to the relationship between the two artists; West was a friend and mentor to Stuart during his time in London. Stuart's portrayal of West is both respectful and intimate, reflecting the personal connection between the two men.

"Benjamin West" by Gilbert Stuart is held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. The painting is an important work in the oeuvre of Stuart and serves as a valuable historical document of the artistic milieu of the period, as well as the transatlantic connections that influenced the development of art in the United States and Britain.
