Stephen Kettle (born 12 July 1966, in Castle Bromwich, England) is a British sculptor who works exclusively with slate. His best known works include Supermarine Spitfire designer R. J. Mitchell, commissioned for the Science Museum in London,[1] which was the first statue of its type in the world[citation needed]; and a life size statue of Alan Turing, the founder of computer science and Enigma codebreaker, commissioned by the American philanthropist Sidney E Frank for Bletchley Park in Buckinghamshire.[2]

Kettle lives with his wife and two children in West London.[3]
