The Portrait of Emperor Maximilian I is an oil painting by Albrecht Dürer, dating to 1519 and now in the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria. It portrays Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor.

Dürer had a portrait sitting with the emperor in Augsburg in 1518, making the drawing now in the Albertina, Vienna, from which he later produced two paintings and a woodcut. He varies the clothes slightly in each.
