"Eleanor ('Nell') Gwyn" (1650–1687) is a portrait by Sir Peter Lely, a prominent painter of the English court during the 17th century. Lely, born Pieter van der Faes, was a Dutch painter whose career flourished after he moved to England and became the Principal Painter to Charles II. The portrait is of Nell Gwyn, one of the most famous mistresses of King Charles II of England and a celebrated actress of the Restoration period.

The painting is a typical example of Lely's portraiture style, which was influenced by the works of Anthony van Dyck. Lely's portraits are known for their elegance and sensuality, and this depiction of Nell Gwyn is no exception. In the portrait, Gwyn is often shown with a warm, engaging smile, exuding the charm and vivacity for which she was known. The artwork captures her beauty and lively character, which endeared her to the king and the public alike.

As a historical figure, Nell Gwyn rose from humble beginnings to become one of the era's most recognized figures, transitioning from an orange seller to a leading actress at the King's Company in London. Her relationship with Charles II brought her fame and wealth, and she bore him two sons. Lely's portrait not only reflects her personal allure but also serves as a testament to her unique position in the social hierarchy of the time, as someone who transcended the boundaries of class and convention.

The portrait of Nell Gwyn by Sir Peter Lely is considered an important work in the oeuvre of the artist and a significant cultural artifact from the Restoration period. It provides insight into the aesthetics, social norms, and historical figures of the time. The painting is held in various collections, and its reproductions continue to perpetuate the legacy of both the artist and the sitter.
