Émilie Charmy (pronounced "shar-mee") (April 2, 1878 – 1974) was an artist in France's early avant-garde.
She worked closely with Fauve artists like Henri Matisse, and was active in exhibiting her artworks in Paris, particularly with Berthe Weill.She had become an artist against the norms for French women in her day and became a well-regarded artist.
She made still life, landscape, figure pictures and, very rare for a woman at the time, a number of nude paintings of women.
Charmy's initial works were Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings.
As her career evolved she was influenced by Fauvism and the School of Paris movements.
She was a recipient of the Chevalier of the Legion of Honor.
