"Blind Man's Buff" (French: "Le Colin-Maillard") is an oil painting by the French Rococo artist François Boucher, created in 1742. The painting is a quintessential example of Boucher's style, characterized by its playful, light-hearted subject matter and its soft, pastel tones. It depicts a scene of aristocratic leisure, where elegantly dressed figures engage in the game of blind man's buff in a lush, pastoral setting. The central figure, a blindfolded woman, reaches out her hands as she attempts to catch the other participants, who gracefully evade her touch.

The work is emblematic of the Rococo period, which favored themes of love, nature, and gaiety, often set in idyllic landscapes. Boucher's skillful use of color and light contributes to the overall sense of movement and frivolity in the scene. The painting also reflects the influence of the fêtes galantes genre, a term coined by the French Academy in 1717 to describe Antoine Watteau's paintings of courtly entertainments, which Boucher took as inspiration.

"Blind Man's Buff" is held in high regard for its technical mastery and its embodiment of the Rococo spirit. The painting is part of the collection of the Toledo Museum of Art in Toledo, Ohio, where it continues to be studied and admired for its artistry and historical significance within the context of 18th-century French painting. Boucher's work, with its combination of elegance, charm, and sensuality, has left a lasting impact on the world of art, and "Blind Man's Buff" remains one of his most celebrated pieces.
