List of paintings by Hieronymus Bosch

Bosch's signature from the triptych Adoration of the Magi. Only a few of the surviving paintings by the master are signed.

This article lists paintings by Hieronymus Bosch, as well as paintings attributed to him or his school. For Bosch's drawings, see Hieronymus Bosch drawings. Since the precise chronology of Bosch's works is currently impossible to establish, paintings within sections are sorted alphabetically.

Bosch's works are generally organized into three periods of his life dealing with the early works (c. 1470–1485), the middle period (c.1485–1500), and the late period (c. 1500 until his death). According to Stefan Fischer, thirteen of Bosch's surviving paintings were completed in the late period, with seven surviving paintings attributed to his middle period. Bosch's early period is studied in terms of his workshop activity and possibly some of his drawings. There are no surviving painting attributed to before 1485.

Examples of Bosch's work can be found in Austria, Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Portugal, Serbia, Spain, UK, and USA.
