Joseph-Marie Bouton is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Joseph-Marie Bouton was born in 1768 in Cádiz, where his father Guillaume-Gabriel Bouton worked as a portrait miniaturist. By age eight he was already exhibiting drawings at the Royal Academy in Toulouse, and after his father's death in 1782 he continued training under François Cammas. He exhibited miniatures at the Salon du Capitole in Toulouse in 1786, and by 1789 had gained admission to the Royal Academy in Paris.

Bouton settled in Paris in 1790, studying briefly in the atelier of Vincent, and married Adélaïde Raoulx in 1794. In 1802 he left for Spain, where he achieved considerable success painting portrait miniatures of the Madrid nobility. The Metropolitan Museum of Art records that he became painter in miniature to Charles IV and later to Queen Maria-Luisa in 1805.

The Peninsular War interrupted his Spanish career in 1808, prompting a move to London before he returned to France. He died in Chartres in 1823. His surviving works include ivory miniatures such as A Woman Playing a Harp and a portrait of Sophie Dalmas du Pont painted in 1798–1799. The twentieth-century Spanish critic the Marquis de Lozoya ranked Bouton among the foremost miniaturists in Europe.
