The Bard is an 1817 historical landscape painting by the British artist John Martin.

Inspired by the 1757 poem The Bard by Thomas Gray, it depicts a scene during the Conquest of Wales by Edward I.

A Welsh bard shouts defiance at the army of Edward from a rock over the River Conwy before throwing himself to his death.
