Venus in Search of Cupid Surprises Diana is an 1820 oil painting by the British artist William Hilton.

It depicts a scene from the poem The Faerie Queene by the Tudor era writer Edmund Spenser.

Venus, searching for her son Cupid, runs across Diana and her attendants bathing nude.

It was one of seven paintings that Hilton produced over a number of years illustrating scenes from the poem.

Today it is in the Wallace Collection in London, having been acquired by Marquess of Hertford in 1854.
