Howard Pyle (March 5, 1853 - November 9, 1911) was an American illustrator and author, primarily of books for young people.

His novel Men of Iron was adapted as the movie The Black Shield of Falworth (1954). Pyle travelled to Florence, Italy in 1910 to study mural painting. He died there in 1911 of a sudden kidney infection (Bright's Disease).Pyle was widely respected during his life and continues to be well regarded by illustrators and fine artists.
