Bruce Shingledecker (August 9, 1945 – January 8, 2007) was an American painter. He was best known for his acrylic paintings of Alaskan wildlife, some of which included glacial silt in the paint for texture. In addition to painting, he was also a composer and musician. In the late 1980s Shingledecker moved to Gustavus, Alaska, where he could paint without being disturbed. He received world recognition for his painting "The Sky is Falling" when the National Wildlife Federation chose it for a greeting card.
