Bushrangers on the St Kilda Road is an 1887 painting by English-born artist William Strutt. It depicts a real robbery committed by bushrangers in 1852 on the St Kilda Road, in what is now the Melbourne suburb of Elwood. Strutt had lived in Melbourne from 1850 to 1861, and Bushrangers on the St Kilda Road is one of several Australian history paintings he completed after returning to England.
The painting is owned by the University of Melbourne and is held at the Ian Potter Museum of Art. It has been called one of the collection's "most studied and mythologised works".[1]
