野兽派（法语：Les Fauves）是20世纪率先崛起的象征主义画派，画风强烈、用色大胆鲜艳，将印象派的色彩理论与梵高、高更等后印象派的大胆涂色技法推向极致，不再讲究透视和明暗、放弃传统的远近比例与明暗法，采用平面化构图、阴影面与物体面的强烈对比，脱离自然的摹仿。

野兽派主要由亨利·马蒂斯、「古典野兽」安德鲁·德朗领导，代表画家另有「水彩野兽」劳尔·杜菲、「圣经野兽」乔治斯·卢奥、「风景野兽」乌拉曼克、马尔肯、贾曼恩等，画风特色是狂野的色彩、强烈的视觉冲击，惯用红、青、绿、黄等醒目的强烈色彩作画，他们吸收了非洲、波利尼西亚和中南美洲原始艺术的呈现方式，以单纯的线条、色块表达自己强烈的感受。

Fauvism is the style of les Fauves (French for "the wild beasts"), a loose group of early twentieth-century Modern artists whose works emphasized painterly qualities and strong color over the representational or realistic values retained by Impressionism. While Fauvism as a style began around 1900 and continued beyond 1910, the movement as such lasted only a few years, 1904–1908, and had three exhibitions. The leaders of the movement were Henri Matisse and André Derain.
