Jean Joseph Marie Alphonse Moutte (March 4, 1840 – April 21, 1913) was a French painter in the Naturalist style, known for his genre scenes and coastal landscapes.

He was born to an old Provençal family and began his education at the Lycée Thiers [fr].

Later, he attended the École supérieure d'art et de design Marseille-Méditerranée [fr] where he studied with Émile Loubon, among others.,[1] although his family intended for him to become a wheat broker.

He returned to Marseille in 1891 and, four years later, succeeded Dominique Antoine Magaud as Director of the École.

In 1892, he was elected a member of the Académie de Marseille and, in 1893, became a Chevalier in the Legion of Honor.
