Louis-Jacques Cathelin (1738–1804) was a French engraver born in Paris. He studied under Le Bas and became one of his best pupils. He etched small portraits of historical figures, writers, and artists, and his work was skilled and delicate, though not always even in quality. In 1777 he was admitted to the Academy, and for the occasion he engraved a portrait of the Abbé Terray after Roslin. He died in Paris in 1804.
