Kenneth Mackenzie Clark, Baron Clark OM CH KCB FBA (13 July 1903 21 May 1983) was a British art historian, museum director, and broadcaster. After running two important art galleries in the 1930s and 1940s, he came to wider public notice on television, presenting a succession of programs on the arts during the 1950s and 1960s.

The Nude, first published in 1956, is based on his Mellon lectures in Washington in 1953.
