Portrait of Ada Lovelace is an 1836 portrait painting by the British artist Margaret Sarah Carpenter depicting the mathematician Ada Lovelace.

Lovelace was the only daughter of the poet Lord Byron and his estranged wife Lady Byron and was raised by her mother. A contemporary of Charles Babbage she was one of the pioneers of computer science.[1] Carpenter emerged as a prominent female artist of the Regency era, producing fashionable society portraits that drew comparisons to Thomas Lawrence.[2]

Lovelace is depicted in full-length white dress with a red cape over her shoulders. It was painted the year she gave birth to her first child, having married her husband William King-Noel, 1st Earl of Lovelace the previous year.[3] The paitiing was exhibited at the Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition of 1836.[4] It is today part of the Government Art Collection and in 2023 was loaned to the National Portrait Gallery in London where it is on display.[5]
