The Village Bride (French: L'Accordée de Village) is a painting by the French artist Jean-Baptiste Greuze, created in 1761. It is now in the Louvre, in Paris. The work was first exhibited at the Salon of 1761, where it was unanimously praised by the critics, notably by Diderot. It was the first example of the 'moral painting' genre, to which Greuze often returned.
