Kvinde i chemise eller Woman in a Chemise er et maleri af André Derain fra 1906. Maleriet er et af Statens Museum for Kunsts 10 største highlights. Det betyder det er et vigtigt værk. Det mener Statens Museum for Kunst.
En række af André Derains værker kom i 1920'erne på auktion. Her købte den danske kunstsamler Johannes Rump Woman in a Chemise på D.-H. Kahnweilers auktion, Paris, 7.-8. maj 1923, og donerede det senere til Statens Museum for Kunst.
I december 2024 blev maleriet udsat for hærværk, idet aktivister fra Nødbremsen kastede orange maling
mod maleriet, som dog heldigvis var bag glas. Nødbremsen har i en pressemeddelelse taget ansvar for hærværket.
I 2025 var maleriet udstillet på SMK Thy.

Salon d'Automne 1905: The Birth of Fauvism
