"Colonel Mordaunt's Cock Match" is a notable oil painting by German neoclassical painter Johann Zoffany, created during his stay in India in the late 18th century. The painting, dated circa 1784–86, is a large-scale work that vividly captures a cockfighting event organized by Colonel John Mordaunt, the son of the 1st Viscount Mordaunt and an associate of the British Governor-General of India, Warren Hastings. Zoffany, known for his detailed and often candid depictions of social gatherings, presents a diverse assembly of spectators from various cultural and social backgrounds, highlighting the colonial interactions and complexities of the period.

The artwork is significant for its ethnographic detail and its portrayal of the leisure activities of British expatriates in colonial India. It includes a range of figures from British officers and Indian nobility to commoners, all engrossed in the excitement of the gambling event. Zoffany's skill in portraiture is evident in the individualized faces, which convey the tension and anticipation of the onlookers. The painting also offers insight into the attire and customs of the time, with British and Indian fashions depicted side by side.

"Colonel Mordaunt's Cock Match" is held in high regard for its historical value and its reflection of the cultural exchanges and power dynamics during the British Raj. The painting is part of the Tate Britain collection in London, and it continues to be a subject of study for its artistic merit and as a document of the era's social history. Its intricate composition and the narrative it provides make it one of Zoffany's most important works from his Indian period.
