The Water Garden is a 1909 painting by the American Impressionist painter Childe Hassam.

Done in oil on canvas, the painting is in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

The painting depicts a vivacious patch of flowers set on a flat field of grass.

The painting has been noted for being heavily inflected on by Post-Impressionist artistic thought.
