Bob Eggleton (born September 13, 1960) is a science fiction and fantasy artist. Eggleton has been honored with the Hugo Award for Best Professional Artist eight times, first winning in 1994. Eggleton was the guest of honor at Chicon 2000. Eggleton's drawing and paintings cover a wide range of science fiction and fantasy topics, depicting space ships, alien worlds and inhabitants, dragons, and other fantasy creatures. His view on space ships were that they should look organic, and claimed that as a child, he was disappointed with the space shuttles and rockets NASA produced; they were nothing like fantasy artists of the twenties and thirties had promised. His fascination with dragons originated with his childhood interest of dinosaurs, which can be seen in the book Greetings From Earth. His paintings are commissioned and bought at sci-fi conventions, and used as book covers.

Eggleton received massive encouragement from his father, in the form of books, supplies, visits to museums of space and aeronautics and support during the career choices he made. Eggleton dropped out of his art college, because he felt it was not for him. Eggleton is a fan of Godzilla and worked as a creative consultant on the 1998 film "Godzilla" and while in Japan appeared as an extra in one of the more recent films.

Asteroid 13562 was named Bobeggleton in his honor.
