''Dancer Fastening Her Pump'' (French: ''Danseuse ajustant son soulier'') is a pastel and gouache painting by the French artist Edgar Degas, created approximately between 1880 and 1885. This work is part of Degas's extensive series of paintings, sketches, and sculptures that depict the world of ballet, which was a central theme in his oeuvre. Degas is often associated with the Impressionist movement, although he preferred to be called a realist.

The painting portrays a young ballet dancer as she bends down to fasten the ribbon of her ballet shoe, a moment of quiet preparation before or after the exertion of dance. The composition captures the dancer in a candid, informal pose, which is characteristic of Degas's approach to his subjects. He frequently depicted dancers at rest, in rehearsal, or engaged in mundane activities, thereby providing a behind-the-scenes look at the daily life of the Paris Opéra Ballet.

Degas's use of pastels allowed him to blend colors with great subtlety, creating a rich texture that emphasizes the play of light on the dancer's costume and the surrounding space. The choice of medium also contributes to the overall softness and delicacy of the image. The artist's fascination with human anatomy and movement is evident in the careful rendering of the dancer's form, capturing both the physicality and the elegance inherent in the life of a ballet dancer.

''Dancer Fastening Her Pump'' is considered an important work within Degas's ballet-themed collection, as it exemplifies his innovative composition and his exploration of the effects of light and color. The painting is held in a private collection or a museum, and it continues to be a subject of study for its artistic and historical significance within the context of 19th-century French art.
