Waldron Phoenix Belknap Jr. was an American art historian, architect, soldier, and expert in eighteenth-century American painting and portraiture. He received bachelor's and master's degrees from Harvard University and served in the U.S. Army during both world wars, rising to the rank of captain. Harvard University Press named its Belknap Press imprint in his honor in 1954, and the Winterthur Museum, Garden and Library holds the Waldron Phoenix Belknap Jr. Research Library of American Painting, donated by Belknap's mother after her son's death at the age of 50.
