William LeRoy Flint (1909-1991) was an American artist born in Ashtabula, Ohio. After saving for art school, his ambitions were thwarted by the stock market crash, but he won a scholarship to the Cleveland Institute of Art in 1932. Flint worked with the WPA, creating a lithographic study of the Ohio River and traveled its course. His early art was realistic and often incorporated satire and social commentary.

During World War II, he served as a senior instructor in the Army Corps of Engineering. Post-war, he directed the Cleveland City Planning Commission, taught at the Cleveland Museum of Art, and later served as curator and director of the Akron Art Institute. In 1965, he became a professor of art at Kent State University.
