"Queen Tomyris with the Head of Cyrus" is a notable painting by the Flemish Renaissance artist Michiel van Coxcie. The artwork, which dates from the 16th century, depicts the historical scene of Queen Tomyris, the Massagetean ruler, holding the head of Cyrus the Great, the founder of the Persian Empire, after his defeat in battle. This subject is drawn from accounts by ancient historians such as Herodotus, who chronicled the fierce conflict between Tomyris's nomadic tribes and Cyrus's Persian forces, culminating in the Persian emperor's demise and the dramatic presentation of his severed head to Tomyris.

Michiel van Coxcie (1499–1592), known as the Flemish Raphael for his style that emulated the Italian High Renaissance, was a prominent figure in the Northern Renaissance. His works are characterized by their detailed execution, classical composition, and the fusion of Italianate elements with Northern European traditions. "Queen Tomyris with the Head of Cyrus" exemplifies van Coxcie's adeptness at historical and mythological subjects, showcasing his skill in rendering dramatic narratives with emotional intensity and technical precision.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its representation of a powerful female figure in history, a subject that has garnered interest for its depiction of female leadership and vengeance. The artwork's provenance, stylistic analysis, and historical context within van Coxcie's oeuvre contribute to its importance in the study of Renaissance art. It serves as a testament to the cultural exchanges between the Italian and Northern Renaissance and the enduring fascination with classical antiquity during the period.
