"Fish Fishing for People" (French: "Poissons pêchant des hommes") is an 1844 lithograph by the French caricaturist and illustrator Jean-Jacques Grandville, whose real name was Jean Ignace Isidore Gérard. This work is part of a series of illustrations Grandville created for the book "Un Autre Monde" (Another World), which is a satirical and fantastical exploration of society, nature, and the human condition through a series of surreal and anthropomorphic images.

The lithograph depicts a role reversal scenario where fish, endowed with human characteristics, are fishing for humans. In this topsy-turvy world, the fish are the dominant beings, and humans are subject to their control, a common theme in Grandville's work where he often played with the idea of the natural order turned on its head. The image is rich with allegory and serves as a critique of human behavior and societal norms.

Grandville's work is noted for its imaginative qualities and its influence on later artists, particularly in the genres of surrealism and fantasy. "Fish Fishing for People" is emblematic of his style, which combines meticulous detail with fantastical elements, creating a vivid tableau that is both whimsical and thought-provoking. The lithograph is an important example of early 19th-century satirical art and continues to be studied for its artistic merit and its commentary on the human experience.
