Gustave Allemand (full name Hector Gustave Germain Allemand, 1846–1888) was a French landscape painter and engraver active in the second half of the nineteenth century.

Biography Born in Lyon on 8 July 1846, Gustave Allemand was the son of Antoinette Françoise Berthaud and Hector Allemand, also a notable landscape painter. Allemand first studied in his father's studio on Quai de la Charité and then, in 1866, enrolled at the École des Beaux-Arts in Lyon where he was taught by Jean-Baptiste Danguin. In Paris Allemand trained with Alexandre Cabanel and Henri Harpignies. He was also a member of the Union artistique de Toulouse.
