Mortlake Terrace: Early Summer Morning is an 1826 landscape painting by British artist artist Joseph Mallord William Turner.[1] [2] Turner was commissioned by William Moffat, the owner of Mortlake Terrace, to paint two views of the house. Mortlake Terrace is located on Mortlake High Street with the River Thames to its rear. The painting looks eastward along the Thames, with Barnes Terrace in the distance. It was exhibited at the Royal Academy's 1826 Summer Exhibition at Somerset House.

It is now in the Frick Collection in New York.[3] A companion piece, looking westwards from the house along the Thames, is now in the National Gallery of Art in Washington.[4]
