Rufus Fairchild Zogbaum (August 28, 1849 — October 22, 1925) was an American illustrator, journalist, and writer.

He was educated at the Art Students League in New York City from 1878 to 1879, and during 1880–1882 studied under Léon Bonnat in Paris.

Zogbaum and Rockwell both lived and worked in New Rochelle, New York,[3] a well-known art colony especially popular among illustrators of the early twentieth century.

[4] Rudyard Kipling referred to Zogbaum in a poem he sent to then-Captain (later Rear Admiral) Robley D. Evans, U.S. Navy, in 1896.

His 1897 book, All Hands: Pictures of Life in the United States Navy, is a collector's item featuring 36 full page illustrations.
