Edward Henry Potthast (Cincinnati 10 June 1857 - New York City, 9 March 1927) was an American painter. He worked in an Impressionist style and became especially known for his beach scenes.
The influence of the Munich school can also be recognised in the somewhat subdued colours which he contrasts sharply, often with bright accents. From his return to New York in 1896 he painted mainly beach scenes, and plein air, often on Long Island and on the coast of New England.
