The '''''Equestrian Portrait of Philip III''''' is a portrait of [[Philip III of Spain]] on horseback by [[Diego Velázquez]]. It was painted in 1634/35, more than a decade after the subject's death in 1621, as part of a series of paintings of the royal family. Intended to be displayed in the [[Hall of Realms]], originally a wing of the [[Buen Retiro Palace]] in Madrid, it is now in the [[Prado Museum]].

The portrait was commissioned by Philip III's son [[Philip IV of Spain|Philip IV]]. It was painted for the decoration of the Hall of Realms of the Buen Retiro Palace, along with the equestrian portraits of Phillip III's wife, [[Equestrian Portrait of Margarita of Austria|Queen Margaret]], Philip IV, Isabella of France, and Prince [[Equestrian Portrait of Prince Balthasar Charles|Baltasar Carlos]]. The studio of the artist is believed to have made a significant contribution to the painting.
