Sir Joshua Reynolds (Plympton, 16. srpnja 1723. – London, 23. veljače 1792.) bio je utjecajni engleski slikar iz 18. stoljeća, specijaliziran za portrete i poznat po promoviranju tzv. "Velikog stila" slikanja koji je nastojao idealizirati nesavršeno. Bio je jedan od osnivača i prvi predsjednik Kraljevske akademije. Kralj Đuro III. mu je u znak priznanja za zasluge godine 1769. dao plemićku titulu.
