The Portrait of Terentius Neo is a fresco that was found in Pompeii in the House of Terentius Neo in Regio 7, Insula 2, 6. It is currently preserved at the Naples National Archaeological Museum.

It is considered one of the finest pieces of art from the area of Vesuvius.

It was sometimes erroneously called the portrait of Paquius Proculus but this was the result of some confusion because the fresco was not found in the House of Paquius Proculus which is in Reg I, Ins 7, 1.

An inscription found on the outside of the house is an election recommendation by Terentius Neo.
