Godiva Preparing to Ride through Coventry is an 1833 history painting by the British artist George Jones.

It depicts Lady Godiva, the eleventh century Anglo-Saxon noblewoman known for her naked ride through Coventry.

Jones was a veteran of the Napoleonic Wars and best known for his battle paintings.

A review in The Times considered it "a picture of great merit; fanciful, cleverly imagined, and painted with no mean skill".

[2] Today the painting is in the collection of the Tate Britain in Pimlico, having been gifted to the nation by Robert Vernon in 1847.
