Richard Buckner Gruelle (February 22, 1851, Cynthiana, Kentucky – November 4, 1914, Indianapolis, Indiana) was an American Impressionist painter who was a member of the Hoosier Group of Indiana landscape painters.

He moved to Norwalk, Connecticut, in 1910. He was self-taught and the only one of the Hoosier Group painters without European training. He began by painting portraits and domestic interiors before turning to landscapes.
