Eugène Carrière, January 16, 1849–March 27, 1906, was a French painter, lithographer, and teacher. Raised in Strasbourg, he attended the municipal drawing school there and trained as a commercial lithographer before entering the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he studied under Alexandre Cabanel.

Carrière exhibited at the Paris Salon and was a founding member of the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts and the Salon d'Automne. He was closely associated with Auguste Rodin and with writers including Paul Verlaine, Stéphane Mallarmé, and Charles Morice. He taught at the Académie de La Palette; Henri Matisse and André Derain were among the artists who attended his academy.

His works are held by the Musée d'Orsay and Musée Rodin in Paris, Tate in London, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the National Gallery of Art in Washington, the Art Institute of Chicago, and the Yale University Art Gallery.
