The National Portrait Gallery (NPG) is an art gallery in London that houses a collection of portraits of historically important and famous British people.

When it opened in 1856, it was arguably the first national public gallery in the world that was dedicated to portraits. The gallery moved in 1896 to its current site at St Martin's Place, off Trafalgar Square, and adjoining the National Gallery.

The National Portrait Gallery in London is unconnected to the Scottish National Portrait Gallery in Edinburgh. .
It has regional outposts at Beningbrough Hall in Yorkshire and Montacute House in Somerset.
