Frans David Oerder (7 April 1867 Rotterdam - 15 July 1944 Pretoria) was a Dutch-born South African landscape, still-life and portrait painter, etcher, and lithographer. Frans was the youngest of seven children born to a municipal employee, Johannes Carolus Oerder. His father felt that art as a career was foolish, but agreed to his training as a decorator. In 1896, Oerder went on a painting holiday to Zululand, and arranged an exhibition of his work in Cape Town.
