"The Blind Fiddler" is an oil painting by the Scottish artist Sir David Wilkie, completed in 1806. It is one of Wilkie's early works, created when he was just 21 years old, and it showcases his talent for genre painting—depicting scenes from everyday life with a narrative element. The painting measures 35.5 by 45.7 inches and is part of the collection at the Tate Britain in London.

The artwork portrays an itinerant musician, a blind fiddler, playing his instrument in a humble cottage surrounded by an attentive audience of various ages and social standings. The scene is rich with detail and character, capturing a moment of simple, rustic entertainment and community gathering. Wilkie's composition is noted for its use of light and shadow, which focuses the viewer's attention on the fiddler and the children in the foreground, while also providing depth and atmosphere to the interior setting.

"The Blind Fiddler" was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1807 and received critical acclaim, helping to establish Wilkie's reputation as a leading genre painter of his time. The painting is often discussed in the context of its social and cultural significance, reflecting the early 19th-century British interest in the lives of the common people and the Romantic movement's emphasis on emotion and the senses. Wilkie's ability to evoke empathy and narrative through his art has made "The Blind Fiddler" an enduring example of British genre painting and a significant work in the history of British art.
