Hadleigh Castle is an oil painting by the eminent English landscape artist John Constable. Completed in 1829, the work depicts the ruins of Hadleigh Castle, located on a hill overlooking the Thames Estuary in Essex, England. The painting is one of Constable's later works, reflecting his mature style and his continued interest in capturing the dramatic effects of light and atmosphere in the English landscape.

The composition of Hadleigh Castle is notable for its evocative portrayal of the crumbling medieval fortress amid a brooding, stormy sky. Constable's use of impasto and vigorous brushwork conveys the textures of the ancient stonework and the dynamic movement of the clouds. The scene is infused with a sense of melancholy and the sublime, characteristic of the Romantic sensibility of the time.

Measuring 121.9 cm × 164.5 cm, the painting is held in the collection of the Yale Center for British Art in New Haven, Connecticut. It is considered an important example of Constable's landscape oeuvre and is often cited in discussions of his artistic legacy. Hadleigh Castle has been the subject of scholarly attention for its technical and emotional qualities, as well as its place within the broader context of 19th-century British art.

The painting's historical significance is further enhanced by its reflection of Constable's personal circumstances. Created after the death of his wife, Maria, the somber mood of the painting is thought to mirror the artist's own grief and introspection. Hadleigh Castle stands as a poignant testament to Constable's enduring fascination with nature and his ability to convey the transient effects of light and weather, as well as a deeper, more personal resonance.
