Joseph and Potiphar's Wife is a 1640–1645 oil on canvas painting by the Spanish artist Murillo, now in the Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister (Kassel). His later 1660s version of the subject is now in a private collection.

The theme relates to the story told in Book of Genesis chapter 39, of Joseph in Potiphar's house, when the wife of his master tried to seduced him, but he refused.
