Charles H. Waterhouse (September 22, 1924 – November 16, 2013) was an American painter, illustrator and sculptor renowned for using United States Marine Corps historical themes as the motif for his works.
The Marines awarded Waterhouse with the title "USMC Artist in Residence", thus becoming the first and only person to earn such recognition. Throughout his retirement, he continued to paint the history of the Corps. At the time of his death he had completed 225 canvases and 107 portraits of USMC and USN corpsman recipients from the Civil War through Afghanistan.
Waterhouse's work can be seen in museums, federal buildings and historical sites around the country.
