Vincent Haddelsey (born 1934 in Grimsby, England; according to other sources, in 1929 in Lincolnshire, England), is an English painter. He comes from a family of lawyers: his father, grandfather and great-grandfather all worked in the legal profession. His two grandmothers however were gifted painters.

Haddelsey went to school in Ampleforth in Yorkshire, England. As far as painting is concerned, he is however an autodidact: he taught himself most of his art.

In his work, he focuses in particular on landscapes and horses.

In 1969, he won the Great Prize of Lugano for his naive art.
