Portrait of Jean-Baptiste Belley is an oil on canvas portrait painting by the French artist Anne-Louis Girodet de Roussy-Trioson, from 1797. It depicts Jean-Baptiste Belley, a former slave from Saint-Domingue who was elected to serve in the National Convention following the French Revolution. He stands beside a bust of the French abolitionist Guillaume Thomas François Raynal. The composition resembles the artist's later Portrait of Chateaubriand.
