Study from Innocent X is an oil-on-canvas painting by the Irish-born English artist Francis Bacon, from 1962.

It is held in a private collection.

[1] Based on the Portrait of Innocent X by Diego Velázquez, the work depicts a distorted image of the red-robed pope, sitting on a dark red chair on a platform inside a cuboid cage indicated by thin black lines, standing on a light brownish yellow floor with a curved lighter red wall behind.
