Florent Fidele Constant Bourgeois (1767 – 1841) was a French landscape painter, engraver, and lithographer. He studied under Jacques-Louis David, but spent much of his time in Italy.

Landon mentions him as an artist distinguished for the richness of his compositions and the purity of his style, and describes three of his pictures as being in the manner of Gaspard Poussin.

He died at Passy (now in Paris), in June 1841.
