"The Charge of the Light Brigade" is an 1895 oil on canvas painting by the British artist Richard Caton Woodville Jr., which depicts the infamous military action involving the Light Brigade during the Battle of Balaclava on October 25, 1854, in the Crimean War. The painting captures the dramatic and chaotic charge of the British light cavalry against Russian forces, an event immortalized in Alfred, Lord Tennyson's poem of the same name.

Woodville, known for his detailed and vivid military scenes, presents the viewer with a dynamic representation of the charge, showcasing the bravery and the tragedy of the ill-fated assault. The painting's composition focuses on the Light Brigade as they advance through a hail of gunfire and cannonade, emphasizing the heroism and the folly of the attack, which resulted from a misunderstood order.
