Dong Kingman (March 1911 – 12 May 2000) was a Chinese American artist and one of America's leading watercolor masters.

He has won widespread critical acclaim and his works are included in over 50 public and private collections worldwide, including Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston; Brooklyn Museum; deYoung Museum and Art Institute, Chicago.
