Claude-Émile Schuffenecker (1851–1934) was a French Post-Impressionist painter, art teacher, and collector, known for his close association with prominent artists such as Paul Gauguin and Vincent van Gogh. Born in Fresne-Saint-Mamès, Haute-Saône, Schuffenecker moved to Paris with his family in 1863. He initially worked as a clerk while attending evening classes at the École des Arts Décoratifs. His early artistic endeavors were influenced by the Barbizon School, and he later studied under Carolus-Duran.

Schuffenecker's career took a significant turn when he met Paul Gauguin in 1872 while working at the stockbroker's firm Bertin. The two became lifelong friends, and Schuffenecker introduced Gauguin to the Impressionist circle. Despite his own artistic ambitions, Schuffenecker continued to work as a stockbroker until the financial crisis of 1882, which allowed him to focus more on his art and teaching.

As an artist, Schuffenecker's work is characterized by its use of vibrant colors and bold brushstrokes, reflecting the influence of both Impressionism and the emerging Post-Impressionist movement. His subjects often included landscapes, still lifes, and portraits. Although he exhibited with the Impressionists in the 1880s, Schuffenecker's work did not achieve the same level of recognition as some of his contemporaries.

In addition to his painting, Schuffenecker was an avid art collector and played a crucial role in organizing the 1889 Volpini Exhibition, which showcased works by Gauguin and other avant-garde artists. His home became a meeting place for artists and intellectuals, fostering a creative environment that contributed to the development of modern art.

Schuffenecker's legacy is somewhat overshadowed by his more famous peers, but his contributions to the Post-Impressionist movement and his role as a mentor and supporter of other artists remain significant. He continued to paint and teach until his death in Paris in 1934.
