John Rea Neill (November 12, 1877 - September 19, 1943) was a magazine and children's book illustrator primarily known for illustrating more than forty stories set in the Land of Oz, including L. Frank Baum's, Ruth Plumly Thompson's, and three of his own. His pen-and-ink drawings have become identified almost exclusively with the Oz series. He did a great deal of magazine and newspaper illustration work which is not as well known today.
Illustrated all Oz books except the first (from L. Frank Baum's _The Marvelous Land of Oz in 1904 until his own _Lucky Bucky in Oz_ in 1942), but died before completing another.
