Denise Gatard (1921–2017) was a French ceramist associated with mid-20th-century modern decorative ceramics. Trained at the École des Arts Appliqués in Paris, she developed from the 1950s onward a personal style marked by elegant forms and abstract or graphic decorations.

Her work is part of the post-war revival of French ceramic art, producing mainly vases and decorative pieces that combined artistic research with traditional craftsmanship during the period of the Trente Glorieuses.
