Portrait of Wes is an album by the American jazz guitarist Wes Montgomery, released in 1966.
Portrait of Wes was Montgomery's second to last recording for Riverside Records; his performances in October and November 1963 were issued as two albums, Portrait of Wes and Guitar on the Go. Montgomery, who had worked with Melvin Rhyne for his first recordings for Riverside, worked with him again for his last Riverside performance. Portrait of Wes was reissued in the Original Jazz Classics series, with additional alternate takes.
AllMusic jazz critic Scott Yanow wrote: "The brilliant guitarist is in fine form on these appealing tunes with the highlights including 'Freddie the Freeloader,' 'Blues Riff' and 'Moanin.'"
