The Brittany Spaniel, French: Épagneul Breton, is a French breed of gun dog of spaniel type, bred primarily for bird hunting.

It developed between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries in Brittany in north-west France, and was officially recognized early in the twentieth. The breed has developed differently in the United States, where it may be referred to as the 'American Brittany'.
