Michel Delacroix (born 1933 in Paris) is a French painter.
He is a contemporary painter in the "naif" style. His subjects include street scenes of Paris and other nearby areas of France. The time period of these pieces is set during his childhood when France was occupied by Nazi Germany. He was only seven years old and his world was viewed at this time with more innocence than one would customarily expect. His paintings are made into prints sold all over the world. He is the father of French painter Fabienne Delacroix.
