Julie Manet (November 14, 1878 - July 14, 1966) was a French painter and art collector.

Born in Paris, Julie Manet was the daughter and only child of artist Berthe Morisot and Eugene Manet, younger brother of painter Édouard Manet. Throughout her life Julie posed frequently for her mother and other Impressionist artists.

Her diary, published in English as Growing up with the Impressionists, provides insights into the lives of French painters including Renoir, Degas, Monet, and Sisley, as well as the Dreyfus Affair and the state visit of Tsar Nicholas II in 1896.

In May 1900 Julie married Ernest Rouart, artist and grandson of the painter Henri Rouart. The wedding, which took place in Passy, was a double ceremony in which Julie's cousin Jeannie Gobillard married Paul Valéry.
