Den blinda flickan (engelska: The Blind Girl) är en oljemålning av den engelske konstnären John Everett Millais. Den målades 1856 och ingår sedan 1892 i samlingarna på Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery.
Målningen visar två systrar, sannolikt tiggare, som sitter utmed en landsväg i England. Staden som syns i bakgrunden är Winchelsea. Den äldre flickans blindhet indikeras av hennes slutna ögon och en lapp under hennes haka. Hennes stillhet markeras med att en nässelfjäril vilar på hennes sjal. I hennes knä är ett dragspel placerat. På himlen syns en dubbel regnbåge.

John Everett Millais - The Blind Girl.jpg
This painting depicts a red-haired, rosy-cheeked girl of perhaps 16 years sitting on a tuft in a large meadow, facing us with eyes closed. She is wearing a heavy, torn working skirt and a shawl over her head, and a German concertina sits in her lap. Her younger blonde sister sits leaning back against her on her left, holding her hand and gazing off to her left – perhaps at some birds on the ground nearby. She is also wearing rough and torn work clothes. A small stream runs immediately in back of the girls, and behind that the yellow meadow stretches back a distance, then up a hill. Various buildings and some trees dot the skyline of the hill. A double rainbow reaches down from the darkish sky to the center of the skyline. In addition to the birds, there are a few farm animals grazing in the meadow – possibly horses, cattle, and sheep.
