The Junction of the Thames and the Medway is an 1807 landscape painting by the British artist J.M.W. Turner that depicts a meeting of the River Thames and the tributary the River Medway. [1] Like many of Turner's nautical works of his early career it shows the influence of seventeenth century Dutch seascapes.

The work was one of a number of paintings that Turner displayed in his own studio gallery at Queen Anne Street in Marylebone rather than the Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition. [2] Today the painting is in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., having been acquired in 1942. [3]
