"The Sleeping Gypsy" (French: "La Bohémienne endormie") is a renowned oil painting by French Naïve artist Henri Julien Rousseau, commonly known as Henri Rousseau. Completed in 1897, this masterpiece is celebrated for its dreamlike atmosphere and its striking, imaginative composition. The painting depicts a lone, slumbering figure dressed in colorful, traditional Romani attire, lying in a moonlit desert beside her mandolin, with a majestic lion curiously sniffing around her without disturbing her peaceful repose.

Rousseau's work is characterized by its primitive or naïve style, which defies the traditional techniques of the academic art of his time. "The Sleeping Gypsy" is a quintessential example of this, showcasing Rousseau's self-taught approach to painting, marked by a lack of conventional perspective and the use of flat areas of bold color. The painting's surreal and enigmatic quality has fascinated art critics and audiences alike, contributing to its status as an iconic piece of Symbolist art.

Measuring 129.5 cm × 200.7 cm (51 in × 79 in), the painting is currently housed in the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, after being acquired by the museum in 1934. "The Sleeping Gypsy" has been interpreted in various ways, with some viewing it as an allegory of the unconscious mind, while others see it as a representation of the exotic and the unknown. Regardless of interpretation, Rousseau's work remains an important precursor to the Surrealist movement and continues to be celebrated for its unique aesthetic and enigmatic charm.
