Frans van Mieris, the younger (November 24, 1689 – October 22, 1763) was a Dutch painter.
He was born in Leiden, the son of Willem van Mieris, and also followed the traditions of his grandfather, Frans's studio.
Willem bequeathed his painting-room to his son Frans. Neither Willem nor Frans the younger equalled Frans the elder in artistic reputation. Frans died in Leiden.
