Joseph, Pierre, Tancrède Latour (April 17, 1806 - March, 1 mars 1863) was a French Romantic drawer and painter. His works are hosted by several museums in southern France.

From the École des Beaux-Arts of Toulouse, he taught drawing at the Institution des Feuillants and his artist studio was frequented by Charles de Saint Félix, Eugène Fil, Jules de Lahondés, Maxime Lalanne, Louise de Carayon-Talpayrac, Eugène de Malbos and Jacques Raymond Brascassat.
