Francis Robert West (c. 1749 – 24 January 1809) was an Irish artist, draughtsman and teacher.

[3] West was married twice, first to Angelica Wolverston,[2] with Strickland describing him as a "most unwilling bridegroom".

[4] Robert Lucius succeeded his father as master of the Dublin Society School.

In 1770, West took over as master of the Dublin Society drawing school his father had founded and held this position until his death.

A former student of West, James Dowling Herbert, described West as "A worthy good-hearted man, but of peculiar manner ... smart little dapper man, very voluble in speech and rapid in delivery, used much action – even his features underwent many changes – opening his eyes wide – raising his eyebrows considerably and extending his mouth".
