Robert Lucius West (circa 1774 - 24 January 1850) was an Irish artist, draughtsman and teacher.

His portrait of John Foster in 1807 won a prize of 50 guineas from the Society, and West used this money to travel to London to study further.

He exhibited with the Royal Academy in 1808, and when he returned to Dublin in 1809, he was officially appointed as assistant to his father at the figure school.

The Dublin Society's committee was determined to find a new, more technically proficient master, and decided on the artist George Grattan.

[2] As early as 1830, the Royal Dublin Society committee of fine arts complained of West's irregular manner of running the figure school, censuring his work as below standard in 1830.
