Félix Trutat (27 February 1824 – 7 March 1848) was a French painter, known primarily for portraits and nudes.

He studied with Léon Cogniet and Pierre-Paul Hamon [fr] at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts in Paris.

A majority of them are in the collection of the Musée des beaux-arts de Dijon; including his self-portrait.

[citation needed] His cousin, Eugène Trutat, was a well known photographer and Director of the Muséum de Toulouse.

His first painting, Nude Girl on a Panther Skin, was used by John Berger to illustrate the concept of the male gaze in his groundbreaking work Ways of Seeing.
