Friedrich August von Kaulbach (2 June 1850 in Munich – 26 July 1920 in Ohlstadt, Germany) was a German portraitist and historical painter.

He was born to a family that included several well known artists and began his studies with his father, Friedrich Kaulbach.

He then attended the Academy of Fine Arts, Nuremberg, where he studied with August von Kreling and Karl Raupp.

He transferred to the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich, in 1871 and worked with Wilhelm von Diez.

His brother, Sigmund (1854–1894), was also a painter, as were his half-siblings, Anton and Antonie [de].
