Lady in Green Jacket is an oil-on-canvas painting by German artist August Macke, executed in 1913. It is held in the Museum Ludwig in Cologne.

The theme of the painting is a walk in the park. Macke had developed this favorite motive since the beginning of his career. The artist creates around the characters a world in which the people seem to match their stylized environment: the ladies appear in elegant tight dresses and fashionable hats while men wear dark suits and bowler hats. Macke himself described the protagonists of his paintings: "The generally accepted attribute of men is bowler hats, and I put bowlers on them. Women with slender necks and hips hold umbrellas in their hands to protect them from light." Individuality is excluded, the faces are shown schematically, and clothes are of a uniform cut, further enhancing the anonymity of the characters.
