Norman Wilkinson (8 August 1882, Handsworth Wood – 14 February 1934, London) ^[1] was a British stage designer. ^{[2] [3]}

He was educated at the New School and the Birmingham School of Art. He designed scenery and costumes for Granville Barker at the Duke of York's Theatre and the Savoy Theatre. ^[3] In the Savoy production of A Midsummer Night's Dream his costumes for the fairies included gilded faces and wigs, ^[4] a choice which received some criticism. ^[2] He also did work for the Phoenix Society. ^[4] He referred to himself as "Norman Wilkinson of Four Oaks" to distinguish himself from the artist, Norman Wilkinson. ^[4] When he died, on 15 February 1934, some newspapers reported that it was the artist who had died. ^{[3] [2]}
