Narcissus is a painting by the Italian Baroque master Caravaggio, painted circa 1597-1599. It is housed in the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Antica in Rome.

This is one of only two known Caravaggios on a theme from Classical mythology, although this reflects the accidents of survival rather than the historical reality. The story of Narcissus, told by the poet Ovid in his Metamorphoses, is of a handsome youth who falls in love with his own reflection.
