Frank O. Salisbury (1874 - 1962) was a well-known British Methodist painter and stained-glass designer in the early 20th century. Following his studies at the Royal Academy, London (1892–1897) and a scholarship to visit Italy in 1896, he developed a taste for large scenes of pageantry and portraiture, painted in traditional style. He worked particularly in Britain and the United States of America, where he was known as Britain's 'Painter Laureate'.
