Lurelle Guild. Vacuum Cleaner, ca. 1937. Brooklyn Museum.

Lurelle Van Arsdale Guild (Syracuse, New York, 1898 – Darien, Connecticut, 1985) was an American artist and prominent industrial designer.

After an education in painting at Syracuse University and a first career of magazine covers, Guild (pronounced to rhyme with "child," not "spilled") began the work in industrial design that was to bring him lasting fame and a career in just one year of which he patented some 1,000 designs.

Among his most noted designs is the 1937 Electrolux vacuum cleaner and a number of streamlined aluminum household items, particularly a Kensington Ware range produced by Alcoa from 1934.
