New World Scene is a woodcut thought to have been made in 1505 by , a German artist based in Augsburg, Germany. The woodcut measures 22 cm by 33.3 cm and a hand-colored copy is in the New York Public Library. It is a key early example of European depictions of the New World, "considered the earliest depiction of American Indians to be at least somewhat ethnographically accurate". It was probably inspired by the descriptions of Amerigo Vespucci in his book Mundus Novum, which detailed his experiences during his time in the "New World", or what is now known as the Americas.
