A. A. Raiba (b. 1922) is a contemporary Indian artist. Educated at the Sir J. J. School of Art in Bombay (1942-46), Raiba started painting professionally in the early 1950s. He won several medals from the Bombay Art Society: Bronze and silver medals, 1957-50; and the Gold medal in 1956. His paintings are in collections in the Cairo Museum, Egypt, in the Nagpur Museum, and in the National Gallery of Modern Art in Delhi. His work has been shown in over 20 exhibitions. He painted several large murals for clients such as Air India and Ashoka Hotel.
His work is characterized by bold shapes, strong outlines, and simple use of sophisticated color. His landscapes often use a deliberately naive perspective.
