Willard Gustav Bowsky (September 26, 1907 – November 27, 1944) was an American animator best known for his work at Fleischer Studios where he worked on cartoons featuring Betty Boop, Popeye the Sailor, and Superman, in addition to two feature-length animated films. He was skilled at animating complicated perspective shots and directing many of the jazz-influenced cartoons produced by the studio.

Bowsky was killed in World War II in eastern France while serving combat duty in the United States Army and was awarded posthumously the Silver Star and the Purple Heart.
