The Bard is an 1817 historical landscape painting by the British artist John Martin. Inspired by the 1757 poem The Bard by Thomas Gray, it depicts a scene during the Conquest of Wales by Edward I.

It featured at the Royal Academy's 1817 Summer Exhibition at Somerset House and at the British Institution the following year. In 1822 it was part of Martin's one-man show at the Egyptian Hall in Piccadilly. The painting is in the collection of the Yale Center for British Art in Connecticut.
