Louis Agassiz Fuertes (1874 - 1927) was an American ornithologist and illustrator.
Fuertes decided to concentrate on painting birds as a career after a meeting with Elliott Coues in 1894. He travelled to many countries in pursuit of birds, including Canada, Mexico, Jamaica and Ethiopia. He lectured on ornithology at Cornell University from 1923.
