Portrait of Jérôme Bonaparte is an 1811 portrait painting by the French artist François Gérard depicting Jérôme Bonaparte, then the King of Westphalia. The younger brother of Napoleon, Emperor of France, he had been placed on the throne of the newly-created Kingdom in 1807 and held it until it was dissolved following the Battle of Leipzig in 1813. He is presented in coronation robes. The same year Gérard helped secure a commission for the young artist Horace Vernet to paint an equestrian portrait of Jérôme.
Today the painting is in the collection of the Palace of Fontainebleau outside Paris.
