The Painter of the Berlin Dancing Girl was an Apulian red-figure vase painter, who was active between 430–410 BC.[citation needed] He was named after a calyx krater in the collection of the Antikensammlung Berlin,[1] which depicts a girl dancing to the aulos played by a seated woman.


As one of the first South Italian red-figure painters, he must have been educated in an Attic workshop. His name vase shows influences from the work of the Phiale Painter, who worked in Attica. He and his followers most likely had their workshops in Taras, which is Taranto today.[1]
