"Robert Macaire Hypnotising" is a lithograph created by the French artist Honoré Daumier (1808–1879), a prolific caricaturist, painter, and sculptor known for his social and political commentary. The work is part of a series of lithographs featuring the character Robert Macaire, a fictional con artist and embodiment of corrupt business practices, who first appeared in a play by Benjamin Antier and Saint-Amand in 1823. Daumier's Macaire series, produced mainly in the 1830s, satirized the greed and hypocrisy of the French bourgeoisie during the July Monarchy (1830–1848).

In this particular lithograph, Daumier depicts Robert Macaire as a mesmerist, using the then-popular pseudoscience of animal magnetism, or mesmerism, to manipulate and control others for his own gain. The image serves as a metaphor for the deceitful and manipulative tactics employed by unscrupulous businessmen and politicians of the era. Daumier's work often targeted societal ills and the abuse of power, and "Robert Macaire Hypnotising" is no exception, offering a sharp critique of the ways in which the powerful can exploit the credulous or vulnerable.

The lithograph is characterized by Daumier's distinctive style, which combines realism with caricature, emphasizing expressive line work and dramatic contrasts of light and shadow. His ability to capture the essence of his subjects with humor and pathos has earned him a lasting reputation as one of the masters of 19th-century graphic art. "Robert Macaire Hypnotising" not only reflects the artist's technical skill but also his commitment to social justice and his role as a keen observer of the human condition.

As with many of Daumier's works, "Robert Macaire Hypnotising" would have been circulated widely in the form of a published print, contributing to the public discourse of the time and influencing the opinions of its viewers. Today, the lithograph is recognized as an important historical artifact, offering insight into the political and social climate of 19th-century France, as well as the enduring power of visual satire.
