Joseph Addison by Sir Godfrey Kneller is an iconic oil-on-canvas portrait of English essayist, poet, and politician Joseph Addison (1672–1719). The painting was created by the renowned 18th-century portrait painter Sir Godfrey Kneller, who was appointed as the Principal Painter in Ordinary to the Crown by Charles II.

The portrait primarily reflects the neoclassical style that Kneller embraced in depicting important figures of his time. It features Addison in a half-length pose, lending an air of intrigue and dignity that matches his reputation as a critically figure in English literature and politics.

The exact date of the painting's composition is obscure; however, it's generally attributed to the late 17th or early 18th century, which coincides with the peak of both Kneller and Addison's careers. The painting essentially immortalizes Addison’s persona, reflecting his prominent status and intellectual depth, all of which are indicated by his elegant attire and contemplative gaze. It now resides in the National Portrait Gallery, London, serving as a potent reminder of an era characterized by grand advancements in literature and politics.

While the painting itself has minimal documentation of its creative history or any anecdotal significance, the subjects' prominence offers remarkable value to the portrait, especially in terms of socio-cultural and academic research. Encapsulating Addison's life and character, Joseph Addison by Sir Godfrey Kneller is an enduring testament to the influential figures that shaped the course of English literature and politics.
