Ца́нко Лавре́нов (болг. Цанко Лавренов / Tsanko Lavrenov[1]; 24 ноября 1896, Пловдив, Болгария — 16 декабря 1978, София, Болгария) — болгарский художник, график. Лавренов и не прошёл длительного курса художественного образования и был мало сведущ в таких академических дисциплинах, как перспектива, анатомия, цветоведение. Но он сумел найти неповторимый способ для передачи целостного образа «всей Болгарии», изображая с глубоким чувством и вниманием к бессчётным подробностям сложные монастырские комплексы, народные праздники, панорамы городов[2].
