Cecilia Beaux (1 Mei 1855 – 17 September 1942) adalah seorang pelukis potret berkebangsaan Amerika, yang subjek gambarannya mencakup ibu negara Edith Roosevelt, Laksamana Sir David Beatty dan Georges Clemenceau
Dilatih di Philadelphia, ia melanjutkan studi di Paris, sangat dipengaruhi oleh dua pelukis klasik Tony Robert-Fleury dan William-Adolphe Bouguereau, yang menghindari gerakan avant-garde. Pada gilirannya, ia menolak impresionisme dan kubisme, tetap menjadi seniman figuratif yang sangat individual. Gayanya, bagaimanapun, mengundang perbandingan dengan John Singer Sargent; di satu pameran, Bernard Berenson bercanda bahwa lukisannya adalah Sargents terbaik di ruangan itu. Dia bisa menyanjung subjeknya tanpa kecerdasan, dan menunjukkan wawasan yang luar biasa tentang karakter. Seperti instrukturnya William Sartain, dia percaya ada hubungan antara karakteristik fisik dan sifat perilaku.
Beaux menjadi guru wanita pertama di Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. Dia dianugerahi medali emas untuk pencapaian seumur hidup oleh Institut Seni dan Sastra Nasional, dan dihormati oleh Eleanor Roosevelt sebagai "wanita Amerika yang telah memberikan kontribusi terbesar bagi budaya dunia".
