Miss La La at the Cirque Fernando is a painting by Edgar Degas, the French Impressionist artist, now in the collection of the National Gallery in London, England. It shows the acrobat Miss La La hanging on a rope by her teeth at the Cirque Fernando in Montmartre, Paris.
The painting was bought by the Trustees of the Courtauld Fund in 1925. It was returned from the Tate Gallery to the National Gallery in 1950.
Currently on loan to Sheffield Weston Park museum (July 2018). Professor Vanessa Toumlin said in an article in the Sheffield Telegraph that Miss La La was a woman of colour noted for her great strength.
