The Lord Byron reception at Missolonghi is an oil painting created by Theodoros Vryzakis in 1861. It is exhibited at the National Gallery, Athens.

It depicts the arrival of the English philhellene Lord Byron at Missolonghi and his welcome. He appears to be coming from the port, accompanied by his friend Edward John Trelawny and numerous soldiers who are cheering. The local authorities and Alexandros Mavrokordatos, who had invited him, welcome him.
