Lunatics is a 2002 oil on canvas painting by the Norwegian painter Odd Nerdrum. It depicts a barren landscape with a number of nude or semi-nude people wearing headgears such as crowns and helmets. In their 2014 catalogue note, Sotheby's described the painting as "a quintessential example of Nerdrum's large-scale allegories, presenting a sense of the apocalyptic".
A detail from the painting was used on the cover for Nerdrum's 2009 book How We Cheat Each Other.
