Neil Stokoe (10 December 1935 – 30 June 2019) was a British painter and teacher whose pioneering, figurative artworks often depicted psychologically charged interior spaces and modern architecture. A contemporary of David Hockney, Frank Bowling and R. B. Kitaj at the Royal College of Art (RCA), he eschewed careerism and seldom had his works exhibited. It is only recently that his work and influence have begun to gain wider public recognition.
