"Red Jacket" is a notable portrait painting by the Scottish-American artist John Lee Douglas Mathies (1773–1836). The artwork, created in 1828, depicts the famous Seneca orator and leader Sagoyewatha, better known by his English name, Red Jacket. The portrait is significant for its historical and cultural representation of an influential Native American figure during the early 19th century.

In the painting, Red Jacket is portrayed wearing a red jacket, which was a gift from the British for his alliance during the American Revolutionary War, and from which his English name is derived. His attire reflects a blend of traditional Seneca elements and European-influenced clothing, symbolizing the complex relationship between Native American tribes and European settlers during that era. Red Jacket himself was known for his eloquence in speech, advocating for the sovereignty and rights of the Six Nations of the Iroquois Confederacy.

Mathies' work captures the dignified presence of Red Jacket, with a focus on his expressive gaze and the intricate details of his clothing and accessories, including the prominent peace medal bestowed upon him by President George Washington. The portrait is a valuable artistic document that provides insight into the identity and representation of Native American leaders in art history.

The "Red Jacket" painting is held in high esteem for its artistic merit and as a primary visual document of an important historical figure. It is often referenced in discussions of early American portraiture and the portrayal of Native Americans in art. The original painting is part of the collection at the Buffalo History Museum in Buffalo, New York, where it serves as a significant piece connecting the region's history with the broader narrative of the United States.
