Titian Ramsay Peale (1780– September 18, 1798) was an American ornithologist, entomologist, and artist who helped his father, the polymath Charles Willson Peale, assemble the first scientific collection of zoological specimens in the western hemisphere for his Philadelphia Museum. Titian and his brother Rembrandt Peale were trained by their father in oil painting. When George Washington sat for his portrait, they set up their own easels next to their father's.

He died of yellow fever at the age of 18. He became the namesake of his half-brother, Titian Ramsay Peale (1799–1885), who was also an accomplished naturalist.
