Portrait of a Young Man with a Gold Chain is an oil painting usually attributed to the Dutch painter Rembrandt.

The accreditation of this work to Rembrandt is supported by various documents and graphic records dating to the seventeenth century. However, a report by the Rembrandt Research Project in 1989 assigned it to the "circle" of the Dutch master. This new assignment was controversial: the opinion was challenged by Pietro Maria Bardi and Luiz Marques, among other experts, who credit the authorship of the painting to Rembrandt. The work is currently preserved at the São Paulo Museum of Art.
