Perseus and the Gorgon is an 1890 white marble sculptural group by French artist Laurent Marqueste. It is now in the chapel of the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon.

It was acquired by the French state in 1890 for 18000 francs and was stored at the Musée du Luxembourg (1890-1913) and the Dépôt des marbres (from 1931). Until 1999 it was stored at Villeurbanne. It was moved to the Musée d’Orsay in 1986, it was moved to its present home in 1999 and restored in 2000.
