Hans Aeschbacher (18 January 1906 – 27 January 1980) was a Swiss abstract sculptor. After an unfinished apprenticeship as a printer, he qualified as a master stucco plasterer and taught himself to draw and paint before turning to sculpture in the 1930s. His work developed from figurative pieces in plaster and terra-cotta to monumental abstract stone forms, with public sculptures installed in Switzerland and internationally.
