"Delivery of the Keys to Saint Peter" is a fresco by the Italian Renaissance artist Pietro Vannucci, commonly known as Perugino, executed in 1481–1482. The work is located in the Sistine Chapel, Vatican City, and forms part of a series of frescoes that decorate the chapel's walls, which were commissioned by Pope Sixtus IV. The fresco is significant for its depiction of a pivotal moment in Christian theology: the moment when Christ gives Saint Peter the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven, symbolizing the establishment of Saint Peter's authority and, by extension, the authority of the papacy.

Perugino's composition masterfully captures the gravity and solemnity of the event. The scene is set against a backdrop that showcases Perugino's skill in the use of linear perspective, a technique that was being refined during the Renaissance. The architectural elements and the receding landscape guide the viewer's eye towards the central figures of Christ and Saint Peter, who are surrounded by the apostles and a crowd of onlookers, including contemporary figures and possibly a self-portrait of Perugino himself.

The fresco is celebrated for its clarity, harmonious colors, and the serene dignity it imparts to the figures. Perugino's ability to convey the sacred nature of the event, while also integrating elements of contemporary life and architecture, demonstrates his mastery of the fresco technique and his understanding of humanist principles. "Delivery of the Keys to Saint Peter" is not only a masterpiece of Renaissance art but also a profound expression of the spiritual and temporal authority of the Church, encapsulated in a moment of divine investiture.
