Francis de Erdely (Hungarian: Erdélyi Ferenc) (1904–1959) was a Hungarian-American artist who was renowned in Europe and the United States for his powerful figure paintings and drawings as well as for his teaching abilities.

His work is in many collections around the world including the Art Institute of Chicago, National Gallery of Victoria, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Carnegie. He painted very few nudes but it is rumored that there is one painting in existence that shows a nude muse, in which there is devoted, particular attention, to the pubic hair. It has never been on public display.
