Rafael Ritz (January 17, 1829 in Brig- April 11, 1894 in Sion), was a Swiss painter. He studied painting at first with his father Lorenz Justin Ritz (1796–1870), then with Melchior Paul von Deschwanden (1811-1881), and finally, in Düsseldorf with Heinrich Karl Mücke (1806–1891) and Rudolf Jordan (1810–1887).
