''Gouache'' is a 2012 studio album by jazz pianist and composer Jacky Terrasson. The vocalist Cécile McLorin Salvant appears on two tracks. The album was released in Europe by Universal and in the U.S. by Sunnyside the following year.

Collar concluded that "Terrasson's original compositions reveal a passion for melody and groove, paired with an adventurous, flowing, stream-of-consciousness post-bop aesthetic that ultimately makes ''Gouache'' a pure joy to hear". ''PopMatters'' 's review by Steve Horowitz observed, "Like the watercolor from which the song gets its name, the album’s musical palette is rich wit ...
