Maximilien Luce (1858 March 13 (Paris) — 1941) was a painter, engraver, anarchist.

Luce was, with Seurat and Signac, one of the founders of the Neo-impressionist School based on the scientific study of light and the analysis of prismatic effect of colours. He was also a great friend of Camille Pissarro, Georges Seurat, Theo Van Rysselberghe, and Louis Valtat. For a number of years he was strictly "pointillist" adopting later a looser technique.

Landscapes and urban scenes depicting the world of the working class (builders, dockers, laborers, fishermen) in the 1930s occupy a predominant place in his work.
