MacDraw is a discontinued vector graphics drawing application released along with the first Apple Macintosh systems in 1984.

It was eventually adapted by Claris and, in the early 1990s, MacDraw Pro was released with color support.

In the preface of the third edition of Introduction to Algorithms, the authors make an emphatic plea for the creation of an OS X-compatible version of MacDraw Pro.

MacDraw is more advanced than MacPaint, featuring a grid and the ability to change the drawing dimensions.

It was developed at Apple by project leader Gerard Schutten and team members Amy Goldsmith and Marjory Kaptanoglu, and was released by Claris.
