The Man of Sorrows is an 1891 oil painting by the Flemish expressionist painter James Ensor. This painting is enlisted on the official inventories of Flemish masterpieces and is a part of the great masters collection of the Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp.

This painting is based on a fifteenth-century painting by Albert Bouts that has the same title.

Ensor's use of the visual elements of a demon in The Man of Sorrows and generally in his religious paintings is significant.
