"Little Breton Shepherd" (French: "Petit Berger Breton") is an oil painting by French Post-Impressionist artist Paul Gauguin, created in 1888 during his first stay in Pont-Aven, a commune in the Brittany region of France. This period marked a significant turning point in Gauguin's artistic career as he moved away from Impressionism towards a more synthesized form of art, characterized by bold colors, flat forms, and a departure from realistic representation.

The painting depicts a young shepherd boy set against a stylized landscape that reflects Gauguin's interest in creating a sense of harmony and emotion through the use of color and form rather than strict adherence to naturalistic detail. The shepherd, typically dressed in Breton costume, is portrayed with a contemplative expression, suggesting a sense of introspection or connection with the rural landscape.

Measuring 73.6 cm × 92.7 cm, "Little Breton Shepherd" is notable for its simplified composition and the way in which it exemplifies Gauguin's evolving style, which would later become known as Cloisonnism. This technique, inspired by medieval enameling and stained glass, involves the use of bold outlines and blocks of color. Gauguin's application of this style reflects his desire to convey the essence of his subjects and to evoke an emotional response from the viewer.

The painting is part of a series of works that Gauguin produced during his time in Brittany, where he was inspired by the region's rugged landscapes, traditional customs, and the local population, which he felt were more connected to the primitive and spiritual aspects of life. "Little Breton Shepherd" is a testament to Gauguin's exploration of symbolism and his pursuit of a more profound artistic expression that transcended the visual reality of the world around him.

As of the knowledge cutoff date, "Little Breton Shepherd" is held in a private collection or museum, and it continues to be studied and admired for its role in the development of modern art and for its insight into Gauguin's unique artistic vision.
