"A Third Class Carriage" (French: "Un wagon de troisième classe") is an oil painting by the French artist Honoré Daumier, completed around 1862–1864. Daumier is renowned for his social commentary on 19th-century French life, and this work is a prime example of his dedication to depicting the everyday struggles of the lower classes. The painting is part of a series that illustrates the different classes of railway carriages, from the more affluent first-class to the crowded third-class compartments.

The composition of "A Third Class Carriage" is characterized by its candid portrayal of passengers in a cramped and uncomfortable setting, highlighting the stark realities of travel for the working class during the Industrial Revolution. The central figures—a mother nursing her child, an elderly man dozing, and a boy staring out into the distance—exemplify Daumier's skill in capturing human emotion and the weariness of long journeys.

Daumier's use of muted colors and loose brushwork contributes to the somber mood of the scene, while his attention to detail and the expressive faces of his subjects evoke empathy from the viewer. The painting is a poignant social document that reflects the artist's concern for the hardships endured by the common people of his time.

"A Third Class Carriage" is held in high regard for its historical significance and artistic merit, representing a key work in Daumier's oeuvre. The painting is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, where it continues to draw attention for its powerful depiction of 19th-century social dynamics and its enduring relevance to discussions about class and society.
