Charles Frederick de Brocktorff (c. 1775/1785 – 1850) was a German-Danish artist who is best-known for painting watercolours of Malta in the first half of the 19th century.

[1] Brocktorff was commissioned to paint many works depicting Malta by foreigners who were either visitors or were serving in the British armed forces on the islands.

[1] Locations painted by Brocktorff include various landmarks in Valletta, such as Saint John's Co-Cathedral, the Governor's Palace, the auberges and the Bibliotheca (now known as the National Library of Malta).

[1] Brocktorff also painted scenes of rural locations, including the megalithic remains at Ġgantija and the Xagħra Stone Circle in Gozo.

[1][3] His sons Luigi and Giovanni de Brockdorff published several lithographic prints in Malta in the first half of the 19th century.
