"Red Jacket, A Celebrated Indian Chief" is a portrait painting by the American artist John Neagle, completed in 1828. The painting depicts the famous Seneca orator and leader Sagoyewatha, known by his English name, Red Jacket, who was a prominent figure among the Iroquois Confederacy during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Renowned for his eloquence, Red Jacket played a significant role in negotiations between the United States and the Iroquois nations, often advocating for the sovereignty and land rights of his people.

Neagle's portrait is notable for its dignified representation of Red Jacket, who is shown wearing the large silver peace medal given to him by President George Washington in 1792. The medal serves as a symbol of the complex relationship between the United States government and Native American leaders during this period. Red Jacket is depicted in a three-quarter length pose, wearing a red jacket that was a gift from the British for his support during the American Revolutionary War, which is how he earned his English moniker.

The painting is an important work in the context of American art history, as it reflects the early 19th-century interest in the romanticized portrayal of Native Americans as "noble savages" within the genre of portraiture. It also provides a visual record of a significant historical figure and the cultural exchanges that occurred during a time of great change and conflict in the United States.

John Neagle's "Red Jacket, A Celebrated Indian Chief" is held in the collection of the Buffalo History Museum in Buffalo, New York. The work is considered a valuable piece of American cultural heritage, offering insight into the portrayal of indigenous leaders by American artists and the broader narrative of Native American history within the United States.
