H. R. Giger (Hans Ruedi Giger, 1940–2014) was a Swiss painter, sculptor and designer known for his biomechanical imagery and work in film production design, notably on Ridley Scott's Alien.

Known for the 'biomechanical' style that fuses biological and mechanical elements; contributed creature and production design work for the film Alien; produced paintings, sculptures and exhibition catalogues.

One DeBaser review recalls a 1997 visit to H. R. Giger's exhibition at Palazzo Bagatti Valsecchi, describing immersive ambient music, video material including The Making of Alien, large panels and three-dimensional works. The reviewer praises Giger's fusion of biological and mechanical forms and ranks the visit highly. Giger is noted for his biomechanical imagery and film design work.
