Aaron Scharf (1922–1993) was an American-born British art historian who contributed in particular to the history of photography in which he had developed an interest while studying at the Courtauld Institute.
He specialized in the relationship between art and photography. He studied at the University of California before attending the Courtauld Institute of Art in London. His doctoral thesis at the Courtauld was eventually published as Art and Photography (Allen Lane, The Penguin Press, 1968).
He was a contemporary of fellow art critic and friend Van Deren Coke, author of The Painter and the Photograph.
