Robert Heindel (October 1, 1938 – July 3, 2005) was an American painter, illustrator, and stage designer best known for his paintings of dance and performing arts. Heindel created over 1300 paintings and drawings of dance and performing arts during a twenty-five year period in the late twentieth century. He was described as the best painter of dance of his time.[1][2][3]

Well-known patrons of dance and the performing arts collected Heindel's works and sponsored his exhibitions, including Princess Diana,[4] Princess Margaret,[5][6] Princess Caroline,[7] Prince and Princess Takamado,[4] and Andrew Lloyd Webber.[2] His works are found in the permanent collections of museums including the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery,[8] the National Portrait Gallery, London,[9] the Norman Rockwell Museum,[10] and the Glasgow Museums.[11]
