"Portrait of Admiral Viscount Keppel" is a notable oil painting completed in 1780 by Sir Joshua Reynolds, who was a prominent 18th-century English painter specializing in portraits and a founding member of the Royal Academy. The subject of the painting, Admiral Augustus Keppel, 1st Viscount Keppel (1725–1786), was a celebrated naval officer who served with distinction in the Royal Navy, particularly during the Seven Years' War and the American Revolutionary War.

The portrait is a full-length depiction of Admiral Keppel, set against a dramatic seascape that alludes to his naval career. Reynolds's portrayal of Keppel is both heroic and dignified, capturing the admiral in his naval uniform with decorations, standing beside a cannon, a symbol of his profession and achievements. The composition reflects the grand manner style that Reynolds was known for, where the subject is idealized and presented in a grandiose setting that emphasizes their status and character.

This work is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical context. The portrait was painted following a controversial court-martial in which Keppel was acquitted of charges of misconduct during the Battle of Ushant against the French fleet in 1778. The acquittal was seen as a vindication of Keppel's honor, and Reynolds's portrait served to reinforce his heroic image in the public eye.

"Portrait of Admiral Viscount Keppel" is considered an important work in Reynolds's oeuvre and in the genre of British portraiture. It exemplifies the artist's skill in capturing the likeness and essence of his sitters while also conveying their social and professional stature. The painting remains an enduring testament to the legacy of both Admiral Keppel and Sir Joshua Reynolds, reflecting the interplay between art and the celebration of national heroes in the late 18th century.
