The Seven Works of Mercy is a 1504 oil on panel painting by the Master of Alkmaar, consisting of seven panels, each showing one of the works of mercy. It was commissioned by the regents of the Holy Spirit almshouse in Alkmaar, before being moved to the church of St Lawrence in the town in 1574. It remained in the latter location until 24 June 1582. It was then bought from the church of St Lawrence in July 1918 by its present owner, the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. It was loaned to the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen from 2004 to 2010.
