Amos Doolittle (May 8, 1754 " February 2, 1832) was an American engraver and silversmith, known as "The Paul Revere of Connecticut."

A self-taught artist from Cheshire, CT., Doolittle became an expert in copper plate engraving and specialized in scenes of the American Revolutionary War when in 1775 he enlisted in the New Haven company of the Governor's Guards, including a four engraving set depicting the April 19th, 1775 Battles of Lexington and Concord, which were based on his first-hand reconnaissance of the battlefield. He was sought out by many early Americans eager to learn the art of engraving, including James Wilson and Ralph Earl.

Amos Doolittle was also member of the Governor's Second Company of Guards under Capt. Benedict Arnold.

The success of his first prints marked the beginning of Doolittle's artistic career. He was sought out by many early Americans eager to learn the art of engraving, including James Wilson. Doolittle established a shop in New Haven, Connecticut, on the present-day site of Yale University's Old Campus, from where he created portraits, maps, and bookplates. Doolittle died on January 30, 1832 and is buried in the Grove Street Cemetery in New Haven
