Arvid Frederick Nyholm (July 12, 1866 – November 14, 1927) was a Swedish-American artist, known primarily as a portrait and landscape painter.

He initially studied architecture at the Royal Institute of Technology (Swedish: kungliga tekniska högskolan) from 1886–1887.

He was a student of theatre painting briefly at the Royal Academy (Swedish: kungliga konstakademin) in Stockholm from 1889 to 1891.

He secured commissions for the portrait of Chicago-based architect and city planner, Daniel Hudson Burnham, Minnesota governor Adolph Olson Eberhart (1914) hanging in the Minnesota State Capitol building, and of Swedish-born engineer, John Ericsson, now in the National Portrait Gallery, Washington D.C.[2] His works were shown in numerous other museums and galleries, mostly in the Chicago area.

His painting, "The Evening Circle" won first prize at the exhibition of Swedish-American artists in Chicago in 1912.
