Ilan Baruch (; born 1974) is an Israeli plein air landscape painter.
His "cactus" series, painted over a period of three years, began as "fastidiously rendered... sun-drenched, [and] naturalistic," progressing to images that are "expressive [and] closely cropped."
Invited to create a pair of new "Delft" tiles for the 2014 exhibition Blue-and-White Delftware, Baruch painted one with an olive tree and another with an image of the Dome of the Rock.
