Clare Pauline Abbott (née Hinshelwood, 5 July 1921 – 2008) was a South African wildlife artist and illustrator. Although native to England, she settled in South Africa and produced detailed natural history paintings that were used in numerous publications. She also redesigned the colour plates for the American edition of Rowland Ward's book of big game records. Abbott died in 2008, and was later buried in Linlithgow, Scotland.
