Cuirassier is a painting by the French painter Roger de La Fresnaye, executed in 1910-1911. This square-format oil on canvas depicts a cuirassier holding the bridle of a horse, a cubist variation on the motif of The Wounded Cuirassier Leaving the Battlefield by Théodore Géricault. Exhibited at the Salon des Indépendants of 1911, where it was noticed by Guillaume Apollinaire. The painting is now part of the collection of the Musée national d'Art moderne, Paris.
