Camouflage trees (also known as fake trees, false trees, and observation trees) were observation posts invented in 1915 by French painter Lucien-Victor Guirand de Scevola while leading the French army's Section de Camouflage.

They were used by the armed forces of France, the United Kingdom, and Germany in trench warfare during World War I.
