Albert Pierre René Maignan (14 October 1845 – 29 September 1908) was a French history painter and illustrator.

In 1868, he travelled extensively, painting in Rouen, Córdoba, Seville and at the Suez Canal before its opening.

His Spanish and Orientalist paintings show the influence of Henri Regnault.

After 1889, he also drew illustrations and painted decorative murals, including some at the Salon des Lettres at the Hôtel de Ville and the Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Saint-Étienne [fr].

Branching out, from 1895 to 1899 he created a series of tapestries for the Salle des Conférences at the Palais du Luxembourg.
