The Portrait of Philip IV in Fraga is a portrait of Philip IV of Spain by Velázquez. It was painted in June 1644 in Fraga, where the king had moved his court while on a military campaign.

In 1911 the painting was acquired by the Frick Collection. There is a copy in the Dulwich Picture Gallery, but this is not currently thought to be by Velázquez.[1]
