Gilbert Young (born 1941)^[1] is an American artist from Cincinnati, specializing in conceptions of the African-American experience. Young is best known for his painting He Ain't Heavy, which as of 2004 had sold "nearly one million" copies.^[2] His art has been used by BellSouth advertising and on T-shirts worn by actors on Bill Cosby's NBC sitcom A Different World.^[3]

Young was among the prominent voices who criticized the selection of Chinese sculptor Lei Yixin to sculpt the National Mall's Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial. Young raised a number of objections, and asserted that the sculptor chosen should be African-American.^[4]
