"The Beggars" (French: "Les Mendiants") is an 1845 lithograph by the French printmaker, caricaturist, painter, and sculptor Honoré Daumier (1808–1879). Known for his social commentary and satirical art, Daumier frequently depicted the struggles of the lower classes in nineteenth-century France, often highlighting the disparities between the wealthy and the impoverished. "The Beggars" is part of Daumier's extensive body of work that critically examines societal issues of his time through a realist lens.

In "The Beggars," Daumier presents a group of impoverished individuals, each characterized by distinct expressions and postures that convey a sense of despair and resignation. The lithograph is a stark representation of the hardships faced by the urban poor and serves as a poignant critique of the social and economic conditions that led to such widespread destitution. Daumier's use of strong lines and dramatic contrasts in the lithograph emphasizes the gritty reality of the beggars' existence, while also showcasing his skillful handling of the medium.

As a leading figure in the Realist movement, Daumier's work was influential in shaping public perception and discourse around social justice issues. "The Beggars" exemplifies his commitment to using art as a means of social critique and his profound empathy for the marginalized segments of society. The lithograph remains a significant historical document, reflecting the turbulent socio-political climate of 1840s France, as well as a testament to Daumier's artistic legacy and his impact on the development of modern art.

"The Beggars" is held in various collections and has been exhibited in numerous galleries and museums, continuing to resonate with contemporary audiences for its powerful imagery and enduring social relevance. As with many of Daumier's works, this lithograph not only captures the essence of a particular historical moment but also invites reflection on the ongoing challenges related to poverty and social inequality.
