Carel Eliza van der Sande Lacoste (Dordrecht, 26 August 1860 – ibid. , 30 September 1894) was a Dutch painter and draftsman.

Lacoste was the son of Carel Eliza van der Sande Lacoste and Antoinetta Philippina de Jongh. He studied at the Rijksakademie voor Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam, under August Allebé among others, and later at the École nationale supérieure des beaux-arts in Paris. He mainly made landscapes, portraits and interiors. Vincent van Gogh mentions Lacoste in his correspondence, but indicated that he did not hold him in particularly high regard. He is generally appreciated more for his drawings than for his paintings. He was a member and later also a board member of the Teekengenootschap Pictura.

Lacoste suffered from constant health problems, which seriously hampered his production towards the end of his life. He took a cure in Davos and died in 1894, aged 34, probably from tuberculosis. The Dordrechts Museum has work by Lacoste in its collection. His drawings are mainly in private collections.
