Eugène Louis Gillot (1867 - 1925) was a French painter, printmaker and illustrator.
With Charles Fouqueray he founded the Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts de la Mer. He created engravings and drawings for posters and some historical scenes, but concentrated mainly on views of Paris and London, on the banks of the Seine and the Thames, capturing in his works the play of the sun filtering through the fog in Turner's style, which inspired him greatly.
Later his works changed subject, with circus and musical salon scenes.
He exhibited at the Salon de la Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he obtained an honorable mention in 1900, and of which he became a member in 1901.
