Télémaque Obin (1913–?) was a Haitian painter who was born in Cap-Haïtien. He worked as a watchmaker for thirty-five years before devoting himself to painting full-time in 1966. With his father Philomé Obin, he is considered one of the leading representatives of the Haitian Renaissance, which helped generate international attention for postcolonial discourses.
