Александр Дмитриевич Аксинин (2 октября 1949, Львов — 3 мая 1985, Львовская область) — украинский советский художник-график, живший во Львове (УССР). Высочайшая техника офорта, скрупулёзная проработка деталей и визуально-интеллектуальная компонента снискали ему имя «львовского Дюрера»[1]. Художника также называли «Пиранези XX века» за его драматичные и досконально выстроенные конструкции[2].
