"Sermon before Honorius III" (Italian: "Predica davanti a Onorio III") is a fresco attributed to the Italian painter Giotto di Bondone, located in the Basilica of Saint Francis of Assisi. This work is part of a series of frescoes that depict the life of St. Francis and are considered some of Giotto's most significant contributions to the development of Western art. The fresco captures a moment when St. Francis is believed to have preached before Pope Honorius III, an event that underscores the recognition of the Franciscan Order by the Catholic Church.

The fresco is situated in the Upper Church of the basilica, which is renowned for its extensive and intricate fresco cycle. Giotto's work in the basilica is celebrated for its narrative clarity, emotional depth, and innovative use of space and perspective, which marked a departure from the stylized forms of Byzantine art that preceded the Italian Renaissance.

In "Sermon before Honorius III," Giotto's mastery is evident in the composition's organization, the figures' expressiveness, and the use of light and shadow to create a sense of volume. The fresco is a testament to Giotto's ability to convey complex religious themes through humanized characters and dramatic storytelling, which would influence countless artists in the centuries to follow.

While the attribution of the frescoes in the Basilica of Saint Francis to Giotto has been a subject of scholarly debate, the "Sermon before Honorius III" is widely accepted as part of his oeuvre. The fresco not only holds a crucial place in the history of art for its aesthetic qualities but also for its historical significance in the context of the Franciscan Order's establishment and its relationship with the papacy during the 13th century.
