El caballero de la mano en el pecho, variously translated into English as The Gentleman with His Hand at His Breast,^[1] Gentleman with his Hand on his Chest or The Nobleman with his Hand on his Chest,^[2] is an oil painting by El Greco.

Painted in Toledo around 1580, and on display at the Museo del Prado,^[3] it is the most famous of a series of secular portraits of unknown gentlemen, all of them dressed in black and wearing white ruffs, against dark backgrounds.^[1]

Some authors suggest it may be a portrait of Juan de Silva y Ribera III, Marquis of Montemayor and warden of the Alcazar of Toledo.^[3]
