The Portrait of Andrea Doria as Neptune (Italian: Ritratto di Andrea Doria in veste di Nettuno) is an oil painting on canvas completed by Bronzino  for a private collection in either the 1530s or 1540s. It is now in the Pinacoteca di Brera in Milan, Italy.  An oil painting on canvas, it measures 199.5 centimetres (78.5 in) by 149 centimetres (59 in).  In a conscious revival of the convention in classical sculpture of showing important political figures in heroic nudity, it depicts the Genoan admiral, Andrea Doria, posing as the classical god of the sea, Neptune.
