The Potato Harvest is an oil-on-canvas painting by the French artist Jean-François Millet, created in 1855.

After studying to become a painter, he devoted his art to illustrating peasants farming the land.

The Potato Harvest is one of nine works which drew international acclaim at the Exposition Universelle in 1867.
