Apparition of a Face and Fruit Dish on a Beach (1938) is a painting by the Spanish surrealist Salvador Dalí.

The picture shows a fruit on or in a wine glass. A human face (which would be seen again in one of Dalí's later works, The Endless Enigma[citation needed]) is seen below the fruit, the handle of the wine glass acting as the face's nose bridge. The texture of the face is the sand of the beach. On the sand is a cloth and a snapped rope. There also are two dogs featured in the background of the painting.
