John Kacere (né en 1920 à Walker, dans l’Iowa, et mort en 1999 à Cedar Rapids, dans l’Iowa) est surtout connu pour ses peintures du corps féminin, en particulier des parties médianes, vêtues de lingerie.

Ces peintures plus grandes que nature ont souvent suscité des critiques de la part des féministes, mais il a affirmé que son travail était une célébration de la féminité. Les œuvres de Kacere font partie de grandes collections, notamment le musée Stedeljik d’Amsterdam, en Hollande, le Portland Art Museum de Portland, en Oregon, et le J.B. Speed Museum de Louisville, dans le Kentucky.
