The Neptune Triumph and the House of Sorothus mosaic, also known as the Neptune and Nereids mosaic or the Neptune Procession mosaic, is a Roman mosaic dating from the 1st or 2nd century, discovered in Tunisia at the end of the 19th century, in the House of Sorothus on the site of Sousse, the ancient Hadrumetus.

The Neptune mosaic is housed in the Bardo National Museum where its size and state of preservation make it one of the museum's masterpieces. When the museum was extended in early 2010, it was moved from the Sousse room, where it had previously been displayed on the floor, to a new space now displayed vertically.

The partially excavated site of the House of Sorothus has also yielded other mosaic works that provide valuable insights into the building's historical and social context; these artifacts are distributed between a room in the Sousse barracks, the Sousse Archaeological Museum and the Bardo National Museum. Some works were destroyed or damaged during the fighting of the Second World War, in particular the bombardment of the Sousse citadel by Allied forces in 1943. Fragments of works thought to have been lost were rediscovered during research carried out in the reserves by a Tunisian mosaic specialist in the 1980s, and some were able to be presented to the public again, notably after the restructuring of the Sousse archaeological museum in the 2010s.
