The Knife Thrower (French: Le Lanceur De Couteaux) is a paper cut by Henri Matisse from 1947.

It is held in the Menil Collection, in Houston.

Tériade, a noted 20th-century art publisher, arranged to have Matisse's cutouts rendered as pochoir (stencil) prints.

The Knife Thrower was a popular print from Henri Matisse's Jazz portfolio of pochoir prints.
