Édouard de Bergevin (18 July 1861 – 6 December 1925) was a French painter of the Rouen school. He was novelist Colette Yver's brother.
He studied at the academy of painting of Rouen, with Frechon, Angrand and Joseph Delattre for fellow students, then in Paris in the studio of Jean-Léon Gérôme. A highly appreciated portrait painter of his contemporaries, illustrator and poster artist, he was also a delicate landscaper. Often accompanied by his friend Delattre, he realized in the countryside of Douarnenez, views of Paris, views of the ports of Rouen and Brittany.
He is buried at Cimetière monumental de Rouen, next to his sister.
