- Flowers in a Crystal Vase is an 1882 painting by Édouard Manet, in the Musée d'Orsay in Paris since 1986.
- It shows clematis and 'oeillets', a French word used for several kinds of cut flowers, many from the Dianthus genus.
- It was probably executed in July 1882, at Rueil and forms part of a set of still life paintings produced by Manet at the end of his life, mainly showing flowers.

French painter Édouard Manet created a famous series of vibrant, spontaneous floral still-life paintings—such as Flowers in a Crystal Vase (c. 1882) and Vase of White Lilacs and Roses (1883)—during the final, painful months of his life.
