Neeta Madahar (born 1966) is a British artist who specialises in photography of nature, birds, and flora. She has had solo exhibitions in Canada, Barcelona, Berlin, Boston, France, London, and New York and had a book, Flora, published by Nazraeli Press. She was named as one of the UK's 50 most significant contemporary photographers in an issue of Portfolio Magazine.

Some of her well appreciated series of photographs are "Sustenance" (2003), "Flora" on flowers "as props for the subjects who are her female friends", "Falling" (2005) of the sky, and "Cosmoses" (2005–07) comprising pictures of flowers shown like stars falling from the sky.

Biography Madahar was born in 1966 in London. She has a Hindu background, and is a British national. In her initial years she evinced keen interest in photography. Though discouraged by her parents, she pursued her passion for photography by attending painting and drawing classes in the evenings. Her first degree was in mathematics, a tradition in her family. Her further education started with a degree from the Winchester School of Art in 1999 with specific interest in videography. She then continued her studies at the University of Southampton in England and received a BA Honors degree in Fine Art. In 2003, she graduated from the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and Tufts University, Boston with a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) degree in Studio Art; this study was facilitated by a scholarship.

The subject matter of her MFA degree related to a series titled "Sustenance" which brought her accolades. Another set of photographs of the sky is titled "Solstice," taken on 21 June, the longest day of the year, and exhibited in June 2007.

Madahar has presented her photographs in solo exhibitions at Les Rencontres-Arles Photography Festival Massachusetts during 2006, and in 2007 at the Oakville Galleries,
