Michael Loew (May 8, 1907 — November 14, 1985) was an American abstract expressionist painter and teacher, who was active in New York City.
In the late 1920s, Loew studied at the Art Students League of New York with the Ashcan School and was a recipient of a Sadie A.

Loew chose to share his private commission with close friend and fellow artist, Willem de Kooning.
Joining the U.S. Navy Seabees in 1943 as a Battalion Painter, Loew documented the work being done on the airbase on Tinian Island.
