Yvonne McKague Housser (1897 – 1996) was an early Modernist Canadian painter specializing in landscapes and design, and a teacher. She was a founding member of the Canadian Group of Painters and the Federation of Canadian Artists. She was made a member of the Royal Canadian Academy of Arts. In 1954 she was one of eighteen Canadian artists commissioned by the Canadian Pacific Railway to paint a mural for the interior of one of the new Park cars entering service on the new Canadian transcontinental train. Each mural depicts a different national or provincial park; Housser's was Sibley Provincial Park.
