Portrait of Lord Melbourne is an 1844 portrait painting by the English artist John Partridge portraying the British politician and former prime minister William Lamb, 2nd Viscount Melbourne.[1]

Melbourne is shown as a distinguished statesman wearing a fur-lined coat.[2] Behind him on the top right is a large leather bound volume of state papers. The portrait likely grew out of a study of Melbourne for Partridge's work The Fine Arts Commissioners. He also depicted Melbourne's fellow commissioners Lord Aberdeen and Lord Palmerston in portraits in preparation for the painting.[3] The painting is now in the National Portrait Gallery, London, having been donated in 1893 by Lord Carlisle whose father had acquired it from the artist.[3]
