Hubert Andrew Freeth RA (29 December 1912 – 26 March 1986) was a British portrait painter and etcher.
Freeth won the prestigious Prix de Rome in engraving in 1936 and 1937, for his series of Black Country images.
After the war, the National Coal Board commissioned Freeth to produce works about mine-workers due to the success of his representation of the people of the Black Country.
