Ferdinand Magellan (c.1480-1521) is a fresco located in the Sala del Mappamondo, a room within the Palace of Caserta in Caserta, Italy. This artwork is part of a series of frescoes designed by the Italian architect and painter Luigi Vanvitelli as part of his grand project to decorate the interior of the palace, which he also designed. The fresco depicts the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan, who is best known for organizing the Spanish expedition to the East Indies from 1519 to 1522, which resulted in the first circumnavigation of the Earth, completed by Juan Sebastián Elcano after Magellan's death in the Philippines.

The Sala del Mappamondo, or the Hall of Maps, is named for its extensive cartographic decorations, which include maps of the world and various territories relevant to the Kingdom of Naples during the 18th century. Vanvitelli's frescoes in this room celebrate the Age of Discovery and the explorers who expanded European knowledge of the globe. The depiction of Magellan is significant as it honors his contribution to maritime exploration and his role in establishing new trade routes, which had profound implications for global history.

The fresco is a testament to the Enlightenment ideals of the time, emphasizing the pursuit of knowledge and the human spirit of adventure. Vanvitelli's work in the Sala del Mappamondo, including the fresco of Ferdinand Magellan, is an integral part of the artistic and cultural heritage of the Palace of Caserta, which has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The fresco not only serves as a historical tribute but also as an example of the rich artistic traditions of the Italian Baroque period, showcasing the interplay between art, architecture, and the intellectual currents of the time.
