Jules Engel (1909-2003) was a Hungarian-American painter, animator, sculptor, film director, and teacher.

After World War II, he joined United Productions of America (UPA) Studios and the team that brought Gerald McBoing-Boing, Madeleine and Mr. Magoo to the screen.
Engel also painted during these years, receiving early support from the Guggenheim. He continued to create paintings, prints and sculptures over numerous decades, and experimental animation films. His fine art work is in the collections of MOMA New York; Art Institute of Chicago; National Gallery of Art, Washington DC; Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; LACMA and other collections worldwide.
