The Hunt in the Forest (aka The Hunt by Night or just The Hunt) is a painting by the Italian artist Paolo Uccello, painted around 1470. It is perhaps the most well-known painting in the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford, England.

The painting is an early example of the effective use of perspective in Rennaisance art, with the hunt participants, including people, horses, dogs and deer, disappearing into the dark forest in the distance. It was Uccello's last known painting before his death in 1475.
