Hilmar Friedrich Wilhelm Bleyl, known as Fritz Bleyl (8 October 1880 – 19 August 1966), was a German artist of the Expressionist school, and one of the four founders of artist group Die Brücke ("The Bridge").
He designed graphics for the group including, for their first show, a poster, which was banned by the police.
He left the group after only two years, when he married, to look after his family, and did not exhibit publicly thereafter.
