Children Eating a Tart is a c. 1670-1675 oil on canvas painting by Bartolomé Esteban Murillo, measuring 123 by 102 cm and now in the Alte Pinakothek in Munich.

Murillo and some of his near-contemporaries like Bernhard Keil were the first European painters to produce works centred on children. The work belongs to a group of genre paintings of children produced by Murillo between 1670 and 1675, based - like his earlier works on that theme like Children Eating Grapes and a Melon - on street children in Seville.
