"Blind Man's Buff" (Spanish: "La gallina ciega") is a renowned oil on linen painting by the Spanish artist Francisco de Goya y Lucientes, created circa 1788–1789. This work is part of a series of cabinet paintings that Goya made for the Duke and Duchess of Osuna, one of the artist's most important patrons. The painting measures 269 x 350 cm and is currently housed in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain.

The painting depicts a bucolic scene of leisure where a group of elegantly dressed figures partake in the traditional game of "blind man's buff," wherein one player, blindfolded, attempts to catch others around them. Goya's rendition of the game is imbued with a sense of movement and gaiety, capturing the carefree spirit and social interaction of the Spanish elite at the end of the 18th century.

"Blind Man's Buff" is considered a masterpiece of Goya's rococo period, showcasing his skill in portraying light, color, and the textures of the garments. The work reflects the influence of the rococo style, which was characterized by lightness, charm, and a playful approach to subject matter. However, it also hints at the artist's transition towards a more personal and expressive style, which would later culminate in his darker and more introspective works.

The painting is notable for its composition and the way Goya handles the group dynamics, with each figure contributing to the overall narrative of the scene. The artist's use of loose brushstrokes and his ability to capture the effects of light on fabric and foliage demonstrate his technical prowess and innovative approach to painting.

"Blind Man's Buff" is often analyzed within the context of Goya's social commentary, as the game can be seen as a metaphor for the lack of insight or the willful ignorance of the aristocracy on the eve of Spain's tumultuous political changes. The painting remains an important example of Goya's early work and a significant piece within the broader context of Spanish art history.
