Alick Tipoti (born 1975), whose traditional name is Zugub, is a Torres Strait Islander artist, linguist, and activist of the Kala Lagaw Ya people, from Badu Island, in the Zenadh Kes (Torres Strait). His work includes painting, installations, printmaking, sculpture and mask-making, and is focused on preserving the culture and languages of his people.

Tipoti was born in 1975 on Thursday Island and grew up on Badu Island (aka Mulgrave Island); he also has connections with Mabuiag Island. His father, Leniaso, was an artist and cultural adviser, and Alick developed an interest in art as a child. He was given the traditional name of Zugub in order to link him to the spirits of his ancestors, the Zugubal.

He went to primary school on Badu Island, before moving to Thursday Island, gaining an Advance Diploma in Arts at the TAFE college there in 1992 and later graduated with a Bachelor of Visual Arts (Printmaking) at the Australia National University in Canberra in 1998.

Tipoti's artistic practice was initially focused on printmaking, using linocuts. He began exhibiting in small galleries in North Queensland in the early 1990s.

In 2007 he started to make artistic versions of ceremonial masks out of fibreglass, inspired by the traditional turtleshell masks.

He was commissioned to design an artwork for the floor of the Cairns Airport domestic arrivals hall as well as other buildings, and nine railway carriages of the Tilt Train from Brisbane to Cairns in 2010.

In 2015 he performed the Marimawa (spiritual mask dance) at the British Museum in London.

Tipoti has also been a mentor and leader to younger artists in the Torres Strait Islands.
