Fitz Henry Lane (Gloucester, Massachusetts, December 19, 1804 – Duncan's Point, Massachusetts, August 14, 1865) was an American painter and printmaker of a style that would later be called Luinism, for its use of pervasive light. Beginning in the early 1840s Lane would declare himself publicly to be a marine painter while simultaneously continuing his career as a lithographer. He quickly attained an eager and enthusiastic patronage from several of the leading merchants and mariners in Boston, New York, and his native Gloucester. Lane’s career would ultimately find him painting harbour and ship portraits, along with the occasional purely pastoral scene, up and down the eastern seaboard of the United States.
