Leontine Greenberg is an American contemporary artist.

She first showed publicly at the Cooper Gallery in Jersey City, and since then has shown at ThinkSpace Gallery, Gallery1988, C.A.V.E. Gallery and myplasticheart NYC. Her work has been associated with the "Lowbrow Art" movement and she has been featured twice in Juxtapoz magazine. In an interview with A Bad Crit, she said that "illustration and fine art (and graffiti and design) all bleed into and inform each other, which is much more exciting than if they didn’t,", a view associated with the Lowbrow movement.

Her paintings frequently feature birds and other animals interacting with vintage technology such as televisions and phonographs. She works in gouache, pencil and watercolor. 

In a review of her 2009 show "Adrift," webcomics blog Fleen said "The washes of color and loving details to her animal subjects would look right at home in an earnest, Caldecott-winning book." Her 2011 show "Animal Vegetable Mineral" at Gallery1988 in Venice, CA was dubbed a "show not to miss" by culture and design site Notcot.com.

Greenberg grew up in Tucson, Arizona and now lives in Jackson Heights, Queens.
