Robert Minervini (b. 1981, Secaucus, New Jersey, USA) is an artist who examines spatial environments and notions of utopia in large-scale, multi-layered acrylic works. Through dystopian cityscapes, landscapes, and floral still life arrangements, his work addresses the ecological impact of humanity on the landscape.

His work has been exhibited nationally, including solo shows with Rena Bransten Projects, Marine Contemporary, Electric Works, Eleanor Harwood Gallery, as well as group and two-person exhibitions with the Torrance Art Museum, the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego, the diRosa, Palo Alto Art Center, Johansson Projects, Waterhouse and Dodd, Schneider Museum of Art, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, and the San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery. He is a recipient of the Murphy and Cadogan Fellowship by the San Francisco Foundation, and the Carmela Corso Scholarship by Tyler School of Art. He has completed multiple murals and public art works nationally. He has been a resident artist at the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, the Headlands Center of the Arts, the Vermont Studio Center. His art has been published in New American Paintings (No. 91 and No. 109), Beautiful Decay, and Mural Art: Large Scale Art from Walls around the World.
