The Alsatian Orphan / L'Orpheline Alsacienne is a sculpture made by the French artist Auguste Rodin (1840-1917). In the beginning of his career, Rodin made decorative pieces. This piece was created during this phase.

This bust represents a girl with her head slightly bent to the side. Her childish face expresses a soft melancholy. Her veil is characteristic of the province of Alsace, northern France which was lost in the Franco-Prussian War in 1870. The bust was described as "L'exemplaire"{{why|date=May 2017}} with her veil of silk arranged like a butterfly spreading its wings.^[1]^[2] The sculpture is considered one of Rodin's first big successes, and exhibited on several occasions between 1871 and 1884 and in several formats, including marble and terracotta.
