Wolfgang Willrich (31 March 1897 – 18 October 1948) was a German artist of the 20th century, who created propaganda art during the time of Nazi Germany. In 1933, Willrich was employed by the Nazi government, for which he drew art depicting idealized racial standards and portraits of soldiers and party officials.
Willrich authored two books on art, Säuberung des Kunsttempels (The Cleaning of the Temple of Art) and Des Edlen Ewiges Reich (Of the Noble, Eternal Reich). The books condemned the art of the Weimar Republic as degenerate and encouraged the expression of racial consciousness in art.
