James Abbott McNeill Whistler (/ˈdʒeɪmz ˈæbət məkˈniːl ˈwɪslɚ/) (Lowell, Massachusetts, EE. UU., 11 de julio de 1834-Londres, 17 de julio de 1903) fue un pintor estadounidense ligado a los movimientos simbolista e impresionista.
His most famous painting is Arrangement in Grey and Black No. 1 (1871), commonly known as Whistler's Mother, the revered and oft-parodied portrait of motherhood. Whistler influenced the art world and the broader culture of his time with his artistic theories and his friendships with leading artists and writers.
His paintings, etchings, and pastels epitomize the modern penchant for creating "art for art's sake," an axiom celebrated by Whistler and others in the Aesthetic movement. They also represent one of the earliest shifts from traditional representational art to abstraction that is at the heart of much of modern art.

He responded to paintings by Dutch and Spanish Baroque masters, especially Rembrandt, Johannes Vermeer, Pieter de Hooch, Gabriël Metsu, and Diego Velázquez, and by contemporary French painters who admired the same traditions, notably Gustave Courbet, Henri Fantin-Latour, and Alphonse Legros.
