Friedrich Herlin (c. 1425/30 – 1500) was a German painter. His earliest known work depicting scenes from the Life of the Virgin is dated 1459. A signature on an altarpiece in Nördlingen dating it to 1462 identifies him as being from Rothenburg as do citizenship documents from 1467. Nevertheless it is possible that he lived there for only a short time and that his origins lie in Ulm where a painter named Hans Herlin lived and worked from 1449 until 1468.
