Carl von Perbandt (12 May 1832 – 6 April 1911) was a German landscape painter and member of the Düsseldorf school of painting.
He studied painting under Andreas Achenbach and Carl Friedrich Lessing at the Düsseldorf Academy, although his determination to become an artist and his refusal to pursue a military career displeased his family.
After he served in the Franco-Prussian War in 1870, Perbandt and his family went to live on his brother's estate in Falkenhorst, East Prussia.
He travelled and painted with Jules Tavernier in Monterey and eventually settled in San Francisco in 1877 where at times he shared a studio with Henry Raschen (1854-1937).
Perbandt and Raschen also travelled together "living the bohemian life" and painting scenes in Northern California, particularly Sonoma, Humboldt, and Mendocino counties.
