The Bathers can refer to at least six different paintings.

The Bathers is a painting created by Pierre-Auguste Renoir in 1887, a leading figure in the development of the Impressionist period.

The other painting entitled, The Bathers, was created in 1898 by Paul Gauguin, also a French artist, who began painting among the Impressionists, but who is considered a Post-Impressionist because he abandoned their style in favor of one with many other influences. On October 7, 2005 the New York Times announced that Steven A. Cohen had purchased Gauguin's The Bathers and van Gogh's Peasant Woman Against a Background of Wheat from Stephen A. Wynn for $100 million dollars.^{[citation needed]}

Paul Cézanne created three separate paintings known as The Bathers. For more information, see The Bathers (Cézanne).

Jean Metzinger also created a work called The Bathers, which is housed in the Philadelphia Museum of Art.
