Hugh Henry Breckenridge (1870 – 1937), was an American painter and art instructor, who championed the artistic movements from impressionism to modernism. Breckenridge taught for more than forty years at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, becoming the school's Dean of Instruction in 1934. He also taught from 1899 to 1918 at the Darby School of Art, which he co-founded with Thomas Anshutz (1851-1912), and from 1920 to 1937 at his own Breckenridge School of Art in Gloucester, Massachusetts.
