Balbi Holy Conversation (also known as Titian Madonna and Child with Sts Catherine and Dominic and a Donor) is an oil painting by Italian late Renaissance painter Titian, dated to around 1512-1514 and now held at the Fondazione Magnani-Rocca in Traversetolo, near Parma, northern Italy.

The work was originally part or marquess Balbi's collection at Genoa, hence the name. It is a work from the artist's youth, set in a open landscape, with some Giorgione influences but already some personal elements, such as the asymmetrical composition and the full figures.
