Portrait of Doge Pietro Loredan is an oil painting by Jacopo Tintoretto, dated around 1568. It is one of a pair of portraits made while Pietro Loredan was Doge of Venice. The work survives in two versions; one hangs in the Kimbell Art Museum in Fort Worth, Texas, and the other in the National Gallery of Victoria in Melbourne. The painting was created between 1567 and 1570, during the Italian Renaissance. It shows the same subject in both versions, giving viewers a glimpse of Venetian leadership in the 16th century.
