"The Penitent Saint Peter" is a notable oil painting by the Flemish Baroque artist Peter Paul Rubens, depicting Saint Peter in a moment of repentance. This work is one of several interpretations by Rubens of the biblical figure, who is often portrayed in moments of human weakness and subsequent spiritual redemption. Painted in the early 17th century, the exact date of creation is not definitively known, but it is generally attributed to the period of Rubens's mature artistic development.

The painting showcases Rubens's mastery of emotional expression and dramatic use of light and shadow, characteristics that define his work and the Baroque style. In the composition, Saint Peter is seen with tears in his eyes, his hands clasped in prayer, and his gaze turned heavenward, embodying a deep sense of remorse for having denied Jesus Christ three times before the crucifixion, as recounted in the New Testament. The work is imbued with a sense of movement and psychological depth, reflecting the artist's ability to convey complex human emotions.

"The Penitent Saint Peter" is significant not only for its artistic excellence but also for its thematic resonance, as it captures the universal themes of guilt, penance, and forgiveness. The painting has been held in various private and public collections over the centuries, and its provenance, as well as its influence on subsequent depictions of Saint Peter and other religious subjects, has been the subject of scholarly study.

As with many of Rubens's paintings, "The Penitent Saint Peter" has been analyzed for its theological implications, use of iconography, and its place within the broader context of Counter-Reformation art. The work is considered an important example of Rubens's religious paintings and contributes to the understanding of the role of visual arts in expressing and shaping religious sentiment during the Baroque period.
