The Haimon painter was a anonymous 5th-century BC Ancient Greek painter and draughtsman, so named by C.H.E. Haspels and John Beazley on account of a recurring subject in his black-figure vase painting—the Sphinx and its victim, the last of whom—according to a Greek myth—was Haimon. His name is unknown, but individual characteristics of style suggest the existence of a unique artistic personality. He specialized mostly in lekythoi and was closely related in manner to other contemporary Athenian vase-painters.{{cite web|title=The Haimon Painter (Biographical details)|url=http://www.britishmuseum.org/research/search_the_collection_database/term_details.aspx?bioId=96390|website=Collection Database|publisher=The British Museum|access-date=9 October 2016}}{{cite journal|last1=J.|first1=F.
