"Portrait of George Gordon, 6th Lord Byron 1788-1824" is an oil painting by the British artist Thomas Phillips RA (1770–1845), created in 1813. It depicts the renowned Romantic poet Lord Byron, who is best known for his flamboyant lifestyle and his masterpieces such as "Childe Harold's Pilgrimage" and "Don Juan." The portrait is one of the most iconic images of Byron, capturing the poet's brooding and introspective nature, which has come to epitomize the Romantic ideal of the tortured genius.

Phillips, a leading portraitist of his day, portrayed Byron in Albanian dress, a costume the poet wore during his travels in the Mediterranean and one that he famously donned for a sitting at the home of Lady Caroline Lamb. The exotic attire reflects Byron's adventurous spirit and the fascination with the Orient that was prevalent in the early 19th century. The portrait also alludes to Byron's support for national causes, such as the Greek War of Independence, which he would later join.

The painting is characterized by its rich color palette and the detailed rendering of textures, from the luxurious fabrics of Byron's costume to the sheen of his curling hair. Byron's pose, with his hand resting on a book, suggests his literary identity, while his direct gaze engages the viewer, conveying a sense of his formidable personality.

This portrait has been widely reproduced and has played a significant role in shaping the public's perception of Lord Byron. It is held in the collection of the National Portrait Gallery in London and remains a key image for studies of Byron's life and Romanticism more broadly. The work is not only significant for its artistic merit but also for its cultural impact, as it immortalizes one of the most influential literary figures of the 19th century.
