Tarquin and Lucretia is a 1620–1650 oil on canvas painting by Artemisia Gentileschi. It hangs in the Great Hall of the Neues Palais in Potsdam. It is one of three paintings that Gentileschi painted of Lucretia, the wife of Roman consul and general Tarquinus, at the moment of her suicide. The other two versions are in a private collection in Milan (painted a few years before the Getty version) and The Getty Museum in Los Angeles.
