John Curtis (1791 - 1862) was an English entomologist and illustrator. In 1824 Curtis began his monumental masterwork, "British Entomology", still widely considered as the finest nineteenth century work on the subject.

Georges Cuvier (1769–1832) described the illustrations of British Entomology as "the paragon of perfection".
