Francis Bacon: The Logic of Sensation (French: Francis Bacon-Logique de la sensation) is a 1981 book by Gilles Deleuze, in which Deleuze explores the work of the celebrated English painter Francis Bacon. It was translated into English by Daniel W. Smith.

The book presents a deep engagement with Bacon's work and the nature of art. Deleuze analyses the distinctive innovations that came to mark Bacon's style while introducing a number of his own famous concepts. Deleuze links Bacon's work to Cézanne's notion of a "logic" of sensation, which reaches its summit in colour. Investigating this logic, Deleuze explores Bacon's crucial relation to past painters such as Velasquez, Cézanne, and Soutine, as well as Bacon's rejection of expressionism and abstract painting.
