Merrill Greene Wheelock (1822–1866) was an artist and architect in Boston, Massachusetts in the 19th century.

[4] Wheelock was especially known for watercolors: he "has a local reputation of being our best painter in that department, his pictures being full of brilliant color.

Illness prevented him from completing the design, finished by architect George F. Meacham and built in 1867.

[7] One of Wheelock's watercolor landscape paintings appeared in the 1881 exhibit of the Boston Art Club.

A contemporary reviewer commented: "Wheelock is almost forgotten, although it is not so very many years since he died.
