Portrait of Cardinal Alessandro Farnese is a c. 1545 – 46 oil on canvas three-quarter-length portrait of Alessandro Farnese the Younger (1520–1589) by Titian, now in the Museo nazionale di Capodimonte in Naples.Its subject is shown in front of a green curtain, wearing a cardinal's robes and holding gloves in his right hand (an accessory more usual in portraits of gentlemen and noblemen than of clerics). His depiction here is similar to that in Pope Paul III and His Grandsons, placing the two works close together in date.
