La National Portrait Gallery, parfois abrégé NPG, est un musée d'art ouvert en 1856 et situé dans le centre de Londres. Il abrite les portraits d'importants personnages historiques britanniques, sélectionnés non en fonction de leurs auteurs mais de la notoriété de la personne représentée. Les collections comprennent des peintures, des gravures, des photographies, des caricatures, des dessins et des sculptures.
