Eulalie Minfred Banks (1895-1999) was an American illustrator of children's books, illustrating over 50 children's books. Born in a southeastern suburb of London, England, she started her career in drawing at the age of 12 designing Christmas cards. In 1913, Banks published her first picture book, "Bobby in Bubbleland". In 1916, Banks married Arthur Wilson. In 1918, the couple emigrated to Canada and then moved to the United States.

In the United States, Banks had a working relationship with the publisher Platt and Munk. She illustrated many classic children's books including nursery rhymes, fairy tales and folk stories. These books remained in print for years. In 1937, Banks was divorced and returned to the United Kingdom. In 1948 she exhibited at the British Industries Fair. After her move in later years to Southern California, she also became known for creating murals in various buildings, both private and public, in the Los Angeles area.
