《康熙南巡图》卷，清，王翚等作，绢本，设色，纵67.8厘米，横1400至2600厘米不等。
康熙皇帝是清朝入关以后的第二代皇帝，在位期间，为了解民情，视察河防，尤其是为平息江南地区民众的反清情绪，从康熙二十三年（1684年）到康熙四十六年（1707年）间，曾经有过6次南巡的盛举。每次南巡，皇帝一行从京师出发，时而车骑，时而舟船，一直抵达浙江的绍兴。出巡活动浩浩荡荡，兴师动众，地方官员迎来送往，花费惊人。《红楼梦》作者曹雪芹的祖父曹寅当时任江宁织造，曾数次接驾。曹雪芹在小说中借凤姐之口说：“说起当年太祖皇帝仿舜巡的故事，比一部书还热闹……只预备接驾一次，把银子花的像淌海水似的！”可见其豪华排场。
在康熙二十八年（1689年）第二次南巡结束后，根据皇帝的命令，由曹寅之弟曹筌任“《南巡图》监画”，征召画家开始绘制《康熙南巡图》。该图共十二巨卷，详细描绘了整个南巡过程。十二卷图现已不复完整，尚存九卷，第一、第九、第十、第十一、第十二卷藏于北京故宫博物院；第二、第四卷现藏法国巴黎的吉美博物馆；第三、第七卷现藏美国纽约的大都会艺术博物馆。
《康熙南巡图》十二卷是由著名画家王翚领衔主绘的，参与绘制的画家还有冷枚、王云、杨晋等，全图历时六年方告完成。
