Yevgeny Alexandrovich Lanceray (Russian: Евгений Александрович Лансере) was a 19th-century Russian sculptor of French origin. He is known as an animalist. Lanceray throughout his career depicted horses, including creating subjects on a historical theme. At the same time he was professionally engaged in breeding horses.
All in all Lanceray created about 400 sculptures. His works are represented in a number of museums — in particular, in the State Tretyakov Gallery, the State Russian Museum, etc.
The son of Yevgeny Alexandrovich Lanceray — Yevgeny Yevgenyevich Lanceray — became a famous Russian and Soviet painter.
