Gerard (de) Lairesse (ook Gérard de Lairesse) (Luik, gedoopt 11 september 1640 – Amsterdam, begraven 21 juli 1711) was een classicistisch kunstschilder en graficus uit de Gouden Eeuw. Hij schilderde voornamelijk historische, allegorische en mythologische scènes, vaak gebaseerd op Ovidius of andere letterkundige werken. In Frankrijk noemde men hem dan ook de "Nederlandse Poussin". De Lairesse is vooral bekend door zijn plafond- en schoorsteenstukken, en de geleerde boeken Grondlegginge der teekenkonst (1701) en Het groot schilderboeck (1707), die van grote invloed waren op de 18e-eeuwse (behang)schilders, zoals Jacob de Wit. Bekende werken van De Lairesse zijn Allegorie van de vijf zintuigen (1668), De zelfmoord van Dido (1668), Diana en Endymion (circa 1680). Werk van De Lairesse hangt in het Rijksmuseum en het Amsterdams Historisch Museum; het Louvre in Parijs; de National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C.; de National Portrait Gallery en Tate Gallery in Londen; het Neues Schloss in Bayreuth en vele andere musea. In de winter van 2016/2017 was er een overzichtstentoonstelling van Gerard de Lairesse's werk in het Rijksmuseum Twenthe in Enschede. Er werd ook een internationaal congres over De Lairesse gehouden.
