"Antoine Laurent de Lavoisier (1743–94)" is a prominent portrait painted by the influential French artist Jacques-Louis David in 1788. The painting is a testament to the neoclassical style that David championed, characterized by its clarity, order, and emphasis on drawing with lines rather than color. The subject of the portrait, Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier, is renowned for his groundbreaking work in chemistry, notably for his role in the chemical revolution where he helped to reform chemical nomenclature and is often referred to as the "Father of Modern Chemistry."

The portrait, measuring 259.7 cm × 194.6 cm (102.2 in × 76.6 in), is housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. It depicts Lavoisier seated at a table with his wife, Marie-Anne Pierrette Paulze, who assisted him in his scientific research and is credited with translating documents and illustrating his experiments. The composition of the painting is notable for its depiction of scientific instruments in the foreground, which are symbolic of Lavoisier's scientific endeavors, and the couple's engagement with the viewer, which reflects the Enlightenment values of reason and knowledge.

David's portrayal of Lavoisier is not only a reflection of the chemist's intellectual stature but also an embodiment of the era's social and political shifts. The painting was commissioned during a time of significant change in France, just before the French Revolution, and Lavoisier himself would become a victim of the Revolution's Reign of Terror, being executed in 1794.

The artwork is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical context, capturing a moment when science and reason were at the forefront of societal advancement. "Antoine Laurent de Lavoisier (1743–94)" remains one of David's important works, exemplifying his mastery in portraiture and his ability to convey the intellectual spirit of his subjects.
