"The Broken Pitcher" (French: "La Cruche cassée") is an oil on canvas painting by the French artist Jean-Baptiste Greuze, completed in 1771. It is one of Greuze's most celebrated works and exemplifies his skill in the genre of moralizing scenes, which was popular during the 18th century. The painting is currently housed in the Louvre Museum in Paris.

The artwork depicts a young girl who appears to be in a state of distress, with a broken pitcher at her feet, symbolizing the loss of her virginity. The girl's downcast eyes and disheveled clothing suggest a narrative of innocence corrupted, a theme that Greuze often explored in his work. The painting's composition and the use of light emphasize the emotional content, drawing the viewer's attention to the girl's expression of shame and regret.

Greuze's "The Broken Pitcher" is notable for its fine brushwork and the artist's ability to convey complex emotions through his subjects. The painting is often interpreted as a cautionary tale about the consequences of moral transgression, reflecting the Enlightenment-era values of virtue and propriety. It has been praised for its narrative quality and its ability to engage the viewer in a moral dialogue, characteristics that have made it an important work in the study of 18th-century French art.

The painting has been widely discussed in art historical literature and is considered a significant example of Greuze's contribution to French painting. Its presence in the Louvre underscores its status as a masterpiece of the period and its enduring appeal to both scholars and the general public.
