The Martyrdom of Saint Matthew (1599–1600) is a painting by the Italian master Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio. It is located in the Contarelli Chapel of the church of the French congregation San Luigi dei Francesi in Rome where it hangs opposite The Calling of Saint Matthew and beside the altarpiece The Inspiration of Saint Matthew both by Caravaggio. It was the first of the three to be installed in the chapel in July 1600.
