Charles Ferdinand Venneman (7 January 1802, Ghent – 22 August 1875, Saint-Josse-ten-Noode) was a Belgian painter who specialized in anecdotal genre scenes, Flemish fairs, and landscapes with animals.

While there, he came under the influence of the works of David Teniers and Adriaen van Ostade; particularly those that depicted villagers and peasants having fun.

During his career, he had successful exhibitions at the Salons in Antwerp and Brussels, as well as in Ghent.

His daughter, Rosa [nl] also became a painter, but worked in a more Realistic style.
