Veer Munshi (Hindi : वीर मुनशी) is a famous Kashmiri artist. He was born in the city of Srinagar in the year 1955 and currently living and working in Gurgaon, Haryana. After doing his B A from Kashmir University in 1976, he studied BFA (Painting) from M.S. University Baroda in 1981.

Veer Munshi has participated in a number of group and solo exhibitions. His works have been exhibited not only in India but in different parts of the world as well.

His work has been inspired not only from the political and social situation in India but also his own real life experiences. He has the ability to transform real life experiences into the language of paintings.

Veer Munshi is the quintessential artist - brooding, thinking and conceptualising to create anew every time he touches his brush to canvas. The perspective is global yet the rooted-ness pan Indian - he carries the wistful beauty of Kashmir in his mind's canvas along with the polished perfection of the Baroda School to immortalise all that he chooses to paint.

Veer Munshi's canvases present images which are intriguing. They cross average notions of reality and pass into a surreal realm.
