"The Wounded Cavalier" is a painting by the British artist William Shakespeare Burton (1824–1916), completed in 1855. It is an oil on canvas work, measuring 117 x 166.4 cm, and is held in a private collection. The painting is a prime example of the Pre-Raphaelite style, although Burton was not formally a member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. It depicts a scene set during the English Civil War, where a Royalist cavalier lies injured in the foreground, being tended to by a Puritan woman, while her Roundhead lover looks on with a mixture of concern and jealousy.

The painting is rich in historical and symbolic detail, reflecting the Pre-Raphaelite commitment to realism and the use of bright colors. Burton's meticulous attention to the textures of nature and the intricate details of the costumes adds to the painting's dramatic impact. The emotional tension between the characters is palpable and is enhanced by the contrast between the cavalier's flamboyant attire and the more somber and plain clothes of the Puritans.

"The Wounded Cavalier" was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1856 and received critical acclaim for its technical proficiency and its evocative portrayal of a poignant historical moment. The work is often interpreted as a commentary on the divisions of English society, as well as the personal and political conflicts that arise from such divisions. It remains an important example of mid-Victorian art and continues to be studied for its aesthetic qualities and its cultural and historical significance.
