Gabriel Faure's Cantique de Jean Racine, Op. 11, is a choral composition originally written for mixed choir and piano or organ. The text, a French paraphrase by Jean Racine of a Latin hymn, was set by the nineteen-year-old Faure in 1864-65 for a competition at the École Niedermeyer de Paris, where he studied. The composition won him the first prize and was first performed on August 4, 1866, with strings and organ accompanying the choir, and Faure himself playing the organ.

The style of Cantique de Jean Racine bears similarities to Faure's later work, Requiem, and the two pieces are often performed together. Faure's training at the École Niedermeyer de Paris, under the guidance of his teacher Camille Saint-Saëns, included weekly choir singing as well as instruction in piano, theory, composition, and classical languages. Cantique de Jean Racine was published around 1875 or 1876
