Frans Alvar Alfred Cawén (8 June 1886, Korpilahti - 3 October 1935) was a Finnish expressionist painter. He was born in Korpilahti and studied at the Academy of Fine Arts (Finland) between 1905 and 1907 and in Paris between 1908 and 1909.

Among his works are altarpieces for churches in Mänttä, Kuusankoski, Lapinlahti, and Simpele.

He married Ragni Cawén (1891-1981), a painter, who following his death continued to paint; the Didrichsen Art Museum owns works by both artists.[1]
