Jerome Richard Tiger (July 8, 1941 – August 13, 1967) was a Muscogee Nation/Seminole painter from Oklahoma. Tiger produced hundreds of paintings from 1962 until his death in 1967.
A fullblood Muscogee Creek-Seminole, Tiger's style is said to be a combination of "spiritual vision, humane understanding, and technical virtuosity" but with traditional subject matter and composition.
His paintings first gained recognition at the Philbrook Museum of Art.
