David Wynne OBE (25 May 1926 – 4 September 2014) was a British sculptor of figures, animals, and portraits.
Born in Lyndhurst, Hampshire, son of Commander Charles Edward Wynne and Millicent (née Beyts), Wynne was educated at Stowe School and then served in the Royal Navy during World War II and read Zoology at Trinity College, Cambridge, taking up sculpture professionally in 1950. He married Gillian Grant, daughter of the writer Joan Grant, in 1959 and had two sons, Edward and Roland, who formed psychedelic rock band Ozric Tentacles.
He did a bronze sculpture of The Beatles in 1964 and subsequently introduced them to the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (of whom he previously did a sculpture). Wynne considered his limestone Risen Christ and Seraphim (1985), for the western front of Wells Cathedral, his most important commission.
