Nelson Boarding the San Josef is an 1829 history painting by the British artist George Jones.

It depicts the boarding and capture of the Spanish ship-of-the-line San Josef by the British Royal Navy at the Battle of Cape St Vincent on 14 February 1797.

[2] Jones, a former army officer and member of the Royal Academy, was known for his war paintings such as The Battle of Vittoria and The Battle of Waterloo (both 1822) which were bought by George IV for St James's Palace.

The work was displayed at the British Institution's annual exhibition in 1829.

Today Jones' painting is in the collection of the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich.
