Ruth-Marion Baruch (1922–1997) was an American photographer remembered for her pictures of the San Francisco Bay Area in the 1960s. Baruch was in the first class of students at the California School of Fine Arts begun by Ansel Adams and Minor White after World War II. These include a series on the Black Panther Party taken from July to October 1968 in collaboration with photographer Pirkle Jones, and a series on the hippies of Haight-Ashbury. Baruch's photographs were exhibited in Perceptions at the San Francisco Museum of Art in 1954 as well as Edward Steichen's New York Museum of Modern Arts exhibition, The Family of Man in 1955.
