"October Morning on the River Leie" is a notable painting by the Belgian artist Emile Claus (1849–1924), who was a leading figure in the Belgian impressionist movement known as luminism. Created in 1896, this work exemplifies Claus's transition from the academic style to a more impressionistic approach, characterized by a vivid portrayal of light and its effects on the landscape.

The painting captures a serene and atmospheric scene along the River Leie (Lys), which was a recurring subject in Claus's oeuvre and close to his home in Astene, where he drew much of his inspiration. The canvas depicts an early October morning, where the gentle light of the rising sun bathes the river and the surrounding foliage in a warm, golden hue. The tranquil waters reflect the sky and the autumnal trees, creating a harmonious interplay of colors and a sense of peacefulness that is typical of Claus's mature work.

Measuring 98 by 123 centimeters, "October Morning on the River Leie" is a testament to Claus's mastery of en plein air painting, a technique that involves painting outdoors to capture the transient effects of light and atmosphere. The work is celebrated for its luminous palette, loose brushwork, and the artist's ability to convey the mood and beauty of the Flemish countryside.

"October Morning on the River Leie" is held in high regard for its contribution to the development of impressionism in Belgium and is considered one of Emile Claus's most important works. It is often cited in discussions of the luminist movement and has been exhibited in various art galleries and museums, contributing to the understanding of the evolution of European impressionism beyond the borders of France.
