The Imperial Pleasure Palace Schönbrunn, Courtyard Side, in German: Das kaiserliche Lustschloß Schönbrunn, Ehrenhofseite, is a painting created in 1759–1760 by the Italian painter Bernardo Bellotto. It depicts the palace of Schönbrunn in Vienna, after a renovation in 1744–1749 by Nicolò Pacassi. It measures 135 cm × 235 cm in size and is located at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna, Austria.
