View of the Avon at Hotwells is an 1840 landscape painting by the British artist Samuel Jackson.
It depicts a view along the gorge of the River Avon to the east of central Bristol, featuring the Clifton Suspension Bridge designed by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, then still under construction and not finally finished until 1864 due to a lack of funds.
In the foreground is the suburb of Hotwells, with Clifton uphill on the right of the painting.
Jackson was a member of the Bristol School which flourished in the city from the Regency period into the early Victorian era. He was generally known for his watercolours and this is one his few oil paintings.
