Brutus is a marble bust of Marcus Junius Brutus sculpted by Michelangelo around 1539–1540. It is now in the Bargello museum in Florence.
The sculpture gives Brutus a heroic aspect in keeping with political sentiment against tyranny at the time of its creation. It belongs to—and may have initiated—a revival of the classical bust in sculpture.
