Louis de Niverville RCA (June 7, 1933 – February 11, 2019) was a Canadian modernist painter whose work has a quality of imaginative fantasy, sometimes described as surreal. He drew on memories, dreams and observations, pulling out of himself the feelings and imagery which moved and excited him and channeling them into his multi-facetted body of work. He particularly enjoyed commissions and delighted in rising to such occasions, whether they be book illustrations or murals.
