Forgive Us Our Trespassing is a piece by graffiti artist Banksy depicting a kneeling boy with a spray-painted halo. The image can be found on a wall in Salt Lake City, Utah.

In March 2010, an official large-format version of the artwork was displayed at London Bridge Station in a collaboration between Banksy and Don't Panic.{{cite news|title=London Underground Banksy work regains its halo|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/8573323.stm|accessdate=4 December 2021|work=BBC News|date=17 March 2010|archive-date=18 April 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220418032701/http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/8573323.stm|url-status=live}} Transport for London gave permission for this artwork to be hung only if the original image was altered to remove the yellow dripping spray paint halo, so as to not encourage graffiti. The print exhibited but removed within 48 hours after the halo was repaired by "either Banksy or one of his people”.{{cite news|title=Underground mystery as Banksy work regains its halo|url=https://www.standard.co.uk/hp/front/underground-mystery-as-banksy-work-regains-its-halo-6751715.html|accessdate=4 December 2021|work=Evening Standard|date=13 April 2012|archive-date=4 December 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211204194302/https://www.standard.co.uk/hp/front/underground-mystery-as-banksy-work-regains-its-halo-6751715.html|url-status=live}} Only one large-format poster of Forgive Us Our Trespassing now remains in existence.
