Claes Lang (1690 – 13 July 1761) was a Finnish painter.
Lang was born inStockholm, but his family later moved toFinland. His father- Jochim Lang was also a painter who had lived and worked inÅland. He married Catharina Elizabeth Roling, whose family came fromLübeck, just like Lang's early family. Artistic painter jobs do not fully employ the Lang, so he periodically had to paint houses and furniture.
He moved toTurku in 1735 and painted a new city hall. He also painted murals andaltarpieces at a number of churches, including in Paimion (1738),Lempäälä,Saltvik (1759), andLumparland (1760). Lang died in Turku on 13 July 1761.
