David with the Head of Goliath, dated c. 1600-1601, is a painting by the Italian artist Caravaggio (1571–1610), housed in the Kunsthistorisches Museum Gemäldegalerie, Vienna. Peter Robb believes it was acquired by the conde de Villamediana in Naples between 1611 and 1617, as Giovanni Bellori records Villamediana as having returned to Spain with a half-figure of David by Caravaggio.
