Judith and Her Maidservant is a painting by the Italian baroque artist Artemisia Gentileschi. Executed sometime between 1645 and 1650, it hangs in the Museo di Capodimonte in Naples.

The exact moment depicted takes place after the murder when her maidservant places the severed head in a bag, while Judith checks around her.
