Károly Reich (8 August 1922 – 7 September 1988; also written Karoly Reich) was a Hungarian artist, best known for his children's books illustrations and for his original draughtsmanship.

Reich drew his early inspirations from the beaches of Lake Balaton, where he first began to draw.
With a great sense of intuition he illustrated about 500 books.
