The Atlanta Cyclorama is a cylindrical panoramic painting of the American Civil War Battle of Atlanta. The cyclorama is housed in a museum, also called the "Atlanta Cyclorama", in Grant Park in Atlanta, Georgia. Visitors view the cylindrical painting from the inside, entering through an entrance in the floor, onto a platform, during with the painting continually rotates affording a view of the entire painting. If unrolled, the painting would measure 42 feet high by 358 feet long and is the largest oil painting in the world.

The painting depicts fierce fighting during the American Civil War as Confederate defenders of Atlanta unsuccessfully counterattacked the invading United States army on July 22, 1864. The painting was commissioned after the end of the war as part of the political campaign of Vice Presidential candidate John A. Logan, who had commanded a large part of the Union forces in the battle. Thus, parts of the painting emphasize the heroism of Logan and other Union commanders.
