Moody's pub is a 1941 painting by Australian artist Russell Drysdale. The painting depicts a pub in the Victorian town of Seymour.

The painting has been described as "one of Drysdale's most celebrated paintings and among the most frequently reproduced images of twentieth-century Australian art." [1]
