Léon Gaucherel (21 May 1816 – 7 January 1886) was a French painter and etcher.

Born at Paris, Gaucherel became a pupil of Eugène Viollet-le-Duc. His first engravings were to illustrate archeological publications, and next he began to produce etchings of old master and contemporary paintings.[1]

After establishing his reputation, Gaucherel took pupils in Paris, and among those he taught were Victor Gustave Lhuillier,[2] Louis Monzies, and Adolphe Lalauze. His work on the Gazette des Beaux-Arts with his fellow engraver Léopold Flameng helped to lift the publication's reputation.[3] In his Etchings by French and English Artists (1874) Philip Gilbert Hamerton included work by Gaucherel and Alphonse Legros.[4]
