Harry Shokler (1896–1978) was a 20th-century American artist known for his oil paintings and screen prints. Using a realist approach that produced what one critic called an "exactness of rendition", he made colorful landscapes, cityscapes, and marine scenes as well as some notable portraits.

He gave few solo or small group exhibitions in commercial galleries and showed his work mainly from his own studio and in non-profit venues.
