"The Fortune Teller" is a painting by the Italian Baroque master Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio, also known simply as Caravaggio. This work is one of Caravaggio's early pieces, believed to have been painted between 1594 and 1595. It is renowned for its realistic depiction of a momentary interaction between a young man and a gypsy girl. The painting is currently housed in the Musei Capitolini in Rome, Italy.

In "The Fortune Teller," Caravaggio captures the scene of a seemingly innocent encounter where the gypsy girl, under the pretense of telling the young man's fortune, is slyly removing a ring from his finger. This narrative reflects Caravaggio's fascination with the street life of Rome and his interest in depicting the human condition with a naturalistic style. The painting's composition and the use of light are characteristic of Caravaggio's approach, which would later influence the development of the Baroque period in art.

The artwork is significant for its departure from the idealized and often artificial representations of figures in earlier Renaissance art. Caravaggio's focus on contemporary subjects and his ability to infuse them with dramatic realism marked a transformative period in European painting. "The Fortune Teller" is also notable for its subtle commentary on deception and the interplay between innocence and guile.

There are two known versions of "The Fortune Teller," with the second, slightly more refined version, painted in 1595, now residing in the Louvre Museum in Paris. The existence of two versions suggests the popularity of the theme and Caravaggio's own satisfaction with the concept. The painting has been extensively analyzed by art historians and is often cited as an example of Caravaggio's early work that foreshadows his later, more mature style.
