Gustaf Adolf Tenggren (1896-1970) was a Swedish-American illustrator and animator. He is known for his Arthur Rackham-influenced fairy-tale style and use of silhouetted figures with caricatured faces. Tenggren was a chief illustrator for The Walt Disney Company in the late 1930s.

From 1942 to 1962, Tenggren worked for Little Golden Books with illustrations for children's books such as 'Saggy Baggy Elephant', 'Tawny Scrawny Lion', 'The Shy Little Kitten', 'Little Black Sambo', and 'The Poky Little Puppy', which became the single all-time best-selling hardcover children's book in English; and "King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table," Emma Gelders Sterne's retelling of the Arthurian Legend.
