"Papillons" (French for "Butterflies") is a series of works by the French Symbolist artist Odilon Redon (1840–1916) that exemplifies his fascination with the dreamlike and the fantastic. Redon, who began his career as a draftsman, is known for his unique blend of the eerie, the exotic, and the poetic, which he expressed through various media including charcoal, pastel, and oil paint. The "Papillons" series, created during the latter part of the 19th century and into the early 20th century, features an array of butterfly motifs that are often interpreted as symbols of metamorphosis, the soul, and the ephemeral nature of beauty.

Redon's butterflies are not depicted in a scientific or naturalistic manner; instead, they are often set against mystical or ambiguous backgrounds, or merged with other elements or figures to create fantastical compositions. The artist's use of vibrant colors, especially in his pastels and oils, marks a departure from his earlier, more monochromatic "noirs" (charcoal drawings), and reflects his interest in the spiritual and the ineffable. The "Papillons" series is celebrated for its innovative approach to the subject matter and its influence on subsequent generations of artists, particularly within the Symbolist movement and later the Surrealists, who admired Redon's exploration of the unconscious.

Redon's work, including the "Papillons" series, has been exhibited in numerous galleries and museums around the world. His unique contribution to the Symbolist movement and to modern art as a whole is recognized for its visionary qualities and its profound impact on the development of abstract and non-representational art in the 20th century. The "Papillons" series continues to captivate audiences with its enigmatic beauty and its ability to transcend the boundaries between the visible world and the realm of imagination.
