Nina Barr Wheeler ( - ) was an American artist who worked with Hildreth Meiere on many of her murals, and also a painter of Catholic religious art in her own right, who eventually went on to design stained glass windows for the National Cathedral in Washington, DC, and murals for the interior of The Tavern on the Green restaurant in New York City. She was most active as an artist during the Depression and the Second World War, and taught for many years at Manhattanville College under her married name of Nina Blake. She retired to Newtown, CT in the early 1950s, where she built her own house on 8 acres (32,000 m2) of land, and died in the late 1970s.
Her nephew is the writer and filmmaker Wheeler Winston Dixon.
