Theodore Jasper (1814 – 1897) was an American portrait painter and photographic colourist active in Columbus, Ohio from circa 1866 to 1883. From the 1840s to the 1860s he worked in New York and Connecticut. His paintings formed the basis for Students Popular Ornithology, a late 19th-century work that had several editions with hand coloured chromolithographic copies of Jasper's art.
