"Girl Friends" or "Girls Friends" (German: "Mädchenfreunde") is a painting often attributed to the Austrian Symbolist painter Gustav Klimt (1862–1918), although its authenticity and provenance have been subjects of debate. The work is believed to have been created around 1916-1917, during Klimt's late period, which was characterized by a more subtle and refined approach to his distinctively ornamental and erotic style.

The painting depicts two women in an intimate embrace, a theme common in Klimt's oeuvre, which often explored the complexity of female sexuality and companionship. The figures are entwined in a manner that suggests a deep emotional connection, possibly romantic, which was a progressive representation for the time. The use of intricate patterns and the juxtaposition of the figures against a flat, decorative background are hallmarks of Klimt's style, influenced by Art Nouveau and the Arts and Crafts movement.

Due to the lack of concrete historical records, "Girl Friends" has been the subject of authenticity disputes. Some experts argue that the painting could be the work of one of Klimt's students or followers, rather than by Klimt himself. The painting's history prior to the mid-20th century is largely unknown, and it lacks the thorough documentation that accompanies many of Klimt's verified works. As a result, "Girl Friends" is not universally accepted as a genuine piece by Klimt, and it is not included in some catalogues raisonnés of the artist's work.

Despite the controversy surrounding its authorship, "Girl Friends" continues to be of interest to art historians and enthusiasts of Klimt's work for its aesthetic qualities and its potential insights into the themes of love and friendship as they were explored in early 20th-century Viennese art. The painting is a testament to the enduring fascination with Klimt's portrayal of women and the intimate relationships between them, whether it is an authentic piece by the master or a tribute by a follower.
