Neubrandenburg Burning (German - Das brennende Neubrandenburg) is an 1830-1835 oil on canvas painting by Caspar David Friedrich, now in the Hamburg Kunsthalle. It is also known as Sunrise at Neubrandenburg (Sonnenaufgang bei Neubrandenburg) or Sunset at Neubrandenburg (Sonnenuntergang bei Neubrandenburg). The artist's parents were both born in Neubrandenburg and he often painted it - another example is Neubrandenburg.

The painting was not popular among the artist's contemporaries but in 1853 Ernst Boll, a German theologian and scholar of the natural sciences, attributed this to the difficulty of presenting the city as a panorama "in which everything is moving".

The work belongs to a group of Romantic paintings of burning Gothic buildings, also including JMW Turner's The Burning of the Houses of Parliament and The Burning of the Houses of Lords and Commons, whilst the churches in front of dramatic clouds are also comparable with John Constable's Salisbury Cathedral.
