Fish Market is a 1568 painting by the Flemish artist Joachim Beuckelaer in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.[1] Executed in oil on wood (Baltic oak), the work depicts a bustling fish market.[2]

Painted during the waning years of the religious iconoclasm of the Beeldenstorm, the painting reflects the shift in Netherlandish art from religious to secular themes.
