"Metallic Tractors" is a satirical etching by the British caricaturist James Gillray, produced in 1801. The work is a commentary on the medical quackery of the time, specifically targeting the practice of "Perkinsism," which was a pseudo-scientific method promoted by Elisha Perkins, an American inventor. Perkins claimed that his "metallic tractors," small pointed rods made of various metals, could cure a range of ailments when drawn over the body.

Gillray's etching humorously depicts a scene where patients are being treated with these metallic tractors. The image is rich with irony and exaggeration, characteristic of Gillray's style, and serves as a visual critique of the gullibility of the public and the opportunism of charlatans in the medical field. The artwork reflects Gillray's keen ability to capture and critique the social and political issues of his time through visual satire.

As a prominent figure in the history of British caricature, Gillray's works are often studied for their historical context and artistic merit. "Metallic Tractors" is held in various collections and remains a significant example of the power of visual satire to influence public opinion and expose the absurdities of contemporary practices.
