Terry Dintenfass (Born Theresa Kline; April 4, 1920 - October 26, 2004) was an American art dealer. She started her first gallery, D Contemporary, in the lobby of the Traymore Hotel in Atlantic City. The Terry Dintenfass Gallery was founded in 1959, when Dintenfass moved to Manhattan. Dintenfass represented the estates of first-generation American modernists Arthur Dove, Charles Sheeler and Ben Shahn. She also represented Jacob Lawrence, Robert Gwathmey, William King, Sidney Goodman, Philip Evergood, Hyman Bloom, Herbert Katzman, Elisabeth Frink and others. Dintenfass was noable for her support of African-American artists in a time when Manhattan Galleries were showing very little African-American Art. Dintenfass maintained a Gallery on West 57th Street until she retired in 1999. The business is currently run by her son Andrew and his wife Ann.
