"The Fighting Temeraire" is a notable painting by the British artist Joseph Mallord William Turner, who is renowned for his expressive colourisations, imaginative landscapes, and turbulent, often violent marine paintings. Completed in 1839, the full title of the work is "The Fighting Temeraire tugged to her last berth to be broken up, 1838" and it depicts the final journey of the HMS Temeraire, a ship of the line that played a distinguished role in the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805.

The painting is revered as an evocative representation of the transition from the age of sail, which the Temeraire symbolizes, to the age of steam, represented by the tugboat. Turner's masterful use of light and color conveys a sense of nostalgia and loss, as the once-mighty warship is towed away for scrap by a much smaller, but technologically advanced, steam-powered vessel.

Measuring 90.7 × 121.6 cm (35.7 × 47.9 in), the oil on canvas artwork is part of the National Gallery's collection in London. It is one of Turner's most celebrated works and is often cited as an icon of British art. The painting has been praised for its poignant beauty and its complex meditation on history, progress, and the passage of time.

"The Fighting Temeraire" has been a subject of extensive art historical commentary and has been featured in various cultural references, including literature and film. It was voted the greatest painting in a British art gallery in a 2005 poll organized by BBC Radio 4's Today programme. Turner's affection for the ship is evident in the painting's warm tones and the dramatic contrast between the sunset sky and the cooler colors of the sea, underscoring the emotional and symbolic significance of the Temeraire's final voyage.
