Japanese Girl Bathing (French: La Japonaise au bain) is an oil painting on canvas by the French artist James Tissot, from 1864. It features a young Japanese nude woman bathing. The work was part of the nineteenth century tradition of orientalism. Tissot, who never visited Japan, painted a French model in his Parisian studio draped in a kimono. However, she wears it more like a European bathrobe. The theme of Japanese objects is a recurring theme in his work of this period.
Today the painting is in the collection of the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Dijon, having been acquired in 1913.
