Johnny Gruelle war ein amerikanischer Künstler, der vor allem als Schöpfer der beliebten Charaktere Raggedy Ann und Raggedy Andy bekannt ist.

Gruelles künstlerische Vielseitigkeit erstreckte sich auf Illustration, Karikatur und das Schreiben von Liedern, was ihm die Erkundung vielfältiger Ausdrucksformen ermöglichte.
