Charles Amédée Forestier (1854 – 18 November 1930) was an Anglo-French artist and illustrator who specialised in historical and prehistoric scenes, and landscapes.

He also produced illustrations for the Windsor Magazine, for the novels of several authors including Walter Besant, and for various travel books by A & C Black.

His drawings are notable for their attention to detail, a consequence of the need to convey a lot of visual information, with little accompanying text, in the popular illustrated magazines of the day.

These reconstructions, in collaboration with scientist Grafton Elliot Smith, were of a possible ape-like ancestor of present-day man, based on a fossil tooth found in Nebraska.

In 1914, he painted a depiction of the signing of the Treaty of Ghent, which was given to the American government in 1922 by Barron Collier and the Sulgrave Institution.
