The Portrait of Ferdinand I, Duke of Parma is an oil-on-panel painting by German artist Johann Zoffany, executed in 1778–1779.

The portrait is related to the British tradition of courtly portraiture, which Zoffany, originally from Frankfurt, had approached after his move to England in 1760.

Zoffany came to Parma in the Spring of 1778 after a profitable stay in Florence in which he had come into contact, through rich English residents, with the court of the Habsburg-Lorraine.

He appears seated on an elegant Louis XV style armchair, depicted in three-quarter length, with a dog by the left side, and holding his hat with his right hand, against the backdrop of a landscape that allows to clearly see the Ducal Palace of Colorno, his favorite residence.

He also wears an elegant waistcoat in silver embroidered with floral motifs, notable for the refined rendering of the fabrics, where the cross of the Constantinian Order of St. George is pinned.
