Aart van Dobbenburgh (Amsterdam, 30 September 1899 – Haarlem, 3 July 1988) was a Dutch artist and graphic artist.
Van Dobbenburgh became known for his lithographs. He drew diverse subjects, such as flowers, portraits, and landscapes, but human hands were his favorite.
His total lithographic oeuvre is estimated at around 800 works. He also created a number of woodcuts and watercolors. Nationally renowned are his lithographs of Queen Mother Emma (1936), his nephew Dr. Willem Drees (1949), Henriette Roland Holst (1949), and then-Queen Juliana (1961).
Van Dobbenburgh illustrated works by the Russian writers Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky, among others. In 1949, Tolstoy's "War and Peace" was published, featuring lithographs of the main characters by Van Dobbenburgh. He also illustrated "Katusha" and "Maria" from Tolstoy's "The Resurrection" and "Anna Karenina," based on the novels of the same name.
