Jean-Michel Basquiat, född 22 december 1960 i Brooklyn i New York, död 12 augusti 1988 på Manhattan i New York, var en amerikansk konstnär. Han var och är känd inom graffiti och neoexpressionism. Jean-Michel Basquiat, som på fädernet härstammade från Haiti, var en av de första afroamerikanska konstnärerna som blev accepterade och kända i amerikanskt konstliv. Han fann inspiration i den afroamerikanska kulturen och utförde energiska och utmanande verk. Han flydde hemifrån i tonåren och levde på gatorna i New York. Han livnärde sig på att sälja vykort och diverse som han själv målade.
