''Pallas and the Centaur'' is a Renaissance painting by the Italian artist Sandro Botticelli, dating to around 1482. This tempera on canvas work is notable for its allegorical content and is often interpreted as a symbol of the power of chastity and virtue over base instincts, represented by the centaur. The painting features a calm and composed female figure, identified as Pallas Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, who gently but firmly grasps the hair of a wild centaur, a mythical creature that is half-man and half-horse. The centaur's expression and posture suggest submission and remorse, indicating the triumph of reason over animalistic impulses.

The artwork measures 207 cm × 148 cm (81 in × 58 in) and is currently housed in the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy. ''Pallas and the Centaur'' is often discussed in the context of Botticelli's other mythological works, such as ''The Birth of Venus'' and ''Primavera'', which similarly reflect the humanistic interests of the Medici court, under whose patronage Botticelli worked. The painting's precise meaning remains a subject of scholarly debate, with various interpretations considering political, moral, and personal dimensions.

Botticelli's masterful use of line and form, as well as his ability to convey complex narratives through imagery, are evident in this work. The detailed rendering of textures, from Pallas's richly patterned dress to the centaur's muscular equine body, showcases Botticelli's skill and contributes to the enduring fascination with this enigmatic painting. As with many of Botticelli's mythological subjects, ''Pallas and the Centaur'' reflects the intersection of classical themes with the artistic and intellectual currents of the Florentine Renaissance.
