Désiré François Laugée (25 January 1823 – 24 January 1896) was a French painter.
His work included portraits and classical religious or historical scenes. His large murals still decorate several churches in Paris.
He also made naturalist landscapes and genre paintings of peasants, particularly in his later life.
With this work he may be seen as a precursor of the Barbizon school.
He achieved great success during his lifetime, although his work has since been largely ignored.
