Ivan Borisov Vukadinov (Bulgarian: Иван Борисов Вукадинов; 19 March 1932 – 22 September 2024) was a Bulgarian painter. Considered "one of the greatest of Bulgarian artists," he was one of the 25 artists selected for the monograph series published by the National Endowment of the Arts. Vukadinov resurrected an encaustic technique used in ancient Egypt for making Fayum mummy portraits. His art references Etruscan, Egyptian, Thracian, Greek, and Roman art. Vukadinov was the first Bulgarian artist whose work has been acquired by the Vatican Museums.
