"Les Funérailles du Général Marceau" (The Funeral of General Marceau) is a historical painting by French artist François Bouchot, created in 1836. The artwork commemorates the funeral of General François Séverin Marceau-Desgraviers (1769–1796), a Republican general during the French Revolutionary Wars who was admired for his bravery and leadership. Marceau died at the young age of 27 after being mortally wounded in battle at Altenkirchen during the War of the First Coalition.

Bouchot's painting captures the solemnity and respect afforded to General Marceau by both French troops and his enemies. In a rare display of military honor across enemy lines, the Austrians, who held Marceau in high esteem, participated in his funeral procession. The scene depicted by Bouchot is rich in detail and pathos, showing the casket draped with the French tricolor being carried through the ranks of French soldiers and Austrian officers who stand in tribute to the fallen hero.

The painting is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical representation of the era's military customs and the universal respect for valor and chivalry, transcending national rivalries. "Les Funérailles du Général Marceau" serves as a visual testament to the reverence for Marceau and the ideals he fought for, as well as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war.

François Bouchot, a pupil of Antoine-Jean Gros, was known for his historical and genre paintings. His work, including "Les Funérailles du Général Marceau," reflects the Romantic spirit of the time, characterized by a focus on emotion, heroism, and the sublime. The painting is part of France's national collection and is an example of the 19th-century French Romantic school's engagement with national history and the valorization of its military figures.
