The Ten Thousand Martyrs is an oil on panel painting by Pontormo, executed c. 1529-1530, produced for the monks of Florence's Spedale degli Innocenti and now in the city's Galleria Palatina. It shows the martyrdom of the eponymous martyrs alongside Saint Maurice. A copy of the left hand side of the work in the Uffizi is attributed to a young Bronzino.
