Yashua Klos (born 1977) is an American visual artist best known for his innovative large-scale collage works which address issues of identity, race, memory and community.

Klos was born in Chicago, Illinois, where he grew up on Chicago's South Side and was raised by his single mother. In 2000, he earned his Bachelor of Fine Arts degree at Northern Illinois University. Klos then studied abroad in France, where he investigated Renaissance painting techniques at L'Atelier Neo Medici in 2002. By 2009, he earned a Master of Fine Arts degree at Hunter College.

Klos's work is influenced by his childhood growing up on Chicago's South Side. His work commonly explores themes surrounding African-American identity in contemporary society. Through his large-scale collages, Klos challenges notions of marginalization, masculinity, and urban mythology. He paints portraits of people from Chicago's South Side, highlighting narratives of suppression, denial, and pain associated with the vulnerability experienced in black communities. There was a "stoicism" among the "black folks" Klos witnessed, an element he attempts to unpack by studying the behavioral nature of adapting and thriving. Overall, he challenges conventions often attached to the African-American man.
