The Adoration of the Magi or Adoration of the Kings is the name traditionally given to the subject in the Nativity of Jesus in art in which the three Magi, represented as kings in the West, having found Jesus by following a star, lay before him gifts of gold and myrrh, worship him. It is related in the Bible by Matthew 2:11: "On entering the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother. Opening their treasure chests, they offered him gifts of gold and myrrh, and having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they left for their own country by another path". Christian iconography has expanded the bare account of the Biblical Magi given in the second chapter of the Gospel of Matthew and used it to press the point that Jesus was recognized, from his earliest infancy, as king of the earth; the scene was used to represent the Nativity, one of the most indispensable episodes in cycles of the Life of the Virgin as well as the Life of Christ. In the church calendar, the event is commemorated in Western Christianity as the Feast of the Epiphany.

The Orthodox Church commemorates the Adoration of the Magi on the Feast of the Nativity. The term is anglicized from the Vulgate Latin section title for this passage: A Magis adoratur. In the earliest depictions, the Magi are shown wearing Persian dress of trousers and Phrygian caps in profile, advancing in step with their gifts held out before them; these images adapt Late Antique poses for barbarians submitting to an Emperor, presenting golden wreaths, indeed relate to images of tribute-bearers from various Mediterranean and ancient Near Eastern cultures going back many centuries. The earliest are from catacomb paintings and sarcophagus reliefs of the 4th century. Crowns are first seen in the 10th century in the West, where their dress had by that time lost any Oriental flavour in most cases; the standard Byzantine depiction of the Nativity included the journey or arrival of the mounted Magi in the background, but not them presenting their gifts, until the post-Byzantine period, when the western depiction was adapted to an icon style.

Byzantine images show small pill-box like hats, whose significance is disputed. The Magi are shown as the same age until about this period, but the idea of depicting the three ages of man is introduced: a beautiful example is seen on the façade of the cathedral of Orvieto. From the 12th century, often in Northern Europe from the 15th, the Magi are made to represent the three known parts of the world: Balthasar is commonly cast as a young African or Moor, old Caspar is given Oriental features or, more dress. Melchior represents middle age. From the 14th century onward, large retinues are shown, the gifts are contained in spectacular pieces of goldsmith work, the Magi's clothes are given increasing attention. By the 15th century, the Adoration of the Magi is a bravura piece in which the artist can display their handling of complex, crowded scenes involving horses and camels, but their rendering of varied textures: the silk, fur and gold of the Kings set against the wood of the stable, the straw of Jesus's manger and the rough clothing of Joseph and the shepherds.

The scene includes a fair diversity of animals as well: the ox and ass from the Nativity scene are there, but the horses, camels and falcons of the kings and their retinue, sometimes other animals, such as birds in the rafters of the stable. From the 15th century onwards, the Adoration of the Magi is quite conflated with the Adoration of the Shepherds from the account in the Gospel of Luke, an opportunity to bring in yet more human and animal diversity; the "adoration" of the Magi at the crib is the usual subject, but their arrival, called the "Procession of the Magi", is shown in the distant background of a Nativity scene, or as a separate subject, for example in the Magi Chapel frescos by Benozzo Gozzoli in the Palazzo Medici Riccardi, Florence. Other subjects include the Journey of the Magi, where they and their retinue are the only figures shown following the Star of Bethlehem, there are uncommon scenes of their meeting with Herod and the Dream of the Magi; the usefulness of the subject to the Church and the technical challenges involved in representing it have made the Adoration of the Magi a favorite subject of Christian art: chiefly painting, but sculpture and music.

The subject matter is found in stained glass. The first figural stained glass window made in the United States is the "Adoration of the Magi" window located at Christ Church, New York and designed in 1843 by the founder and first rector's son, William Jay Bolton.
