Cleonike Damianakes (1895–1979) was an American illustrator, especially of book dust jackets.

Damianakes was born in Berkeley, California.[1]

She designed dust jackets for Ernest Hemingway (The Sun Also Rises and A Farewell to Arms), F. Scott Fitzgerald (All the Sad Young Men), and Zelda Fitzgerald (Save Me the Waltz).[1] Also, Conrad Aiken and David Hamilton.[1] She designed the cover for David Burnham's first novel This Our Exile.[2] She designed the cover of Arthur B. Reeve's Pandora in 1926.[1]

Her second marriage was to Ralph Wilkins, and she was later also known as Cleonike or Cleo Wilkins.[1]

Six of her etchings are in the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Art.[3] Her work is also in the permanent collections of the Art Institute of Chicago,[4] the Smithsonian American Art Museum[5] and the Indianapolis Museum of Art.[6]
