Gérard Cochet (13 October 1888, in Avranches – 8 January 1969, in Paris) was a French illustrator.
He was chief of studio at the Academie Ranson from 1932 to 1935 and vice-president of the Jeune Gravure Contemporaine.
He painted murals for the Palais de la Decouverte and designed scenery and costumes for the theatre.
He also illustrated several books, including the Fables de La Fontaine, Voltaire's Candide, and Jules Laforgue's Les Moralites Legendaires.
In 1941, during the Second World War, with Maurice Dufrêne, Pierre Gandon, Luigi Corbellini, and others Cochet was one of the few painters and sculptors who received the higher rate of 10,000 Francs from the City of Paris to compensate artists and intellectuals for loss of income.
