Kenneth George Budd (1 October 1925 – 21 January 1995[1]) was an English mural artist, known for his mosaics and work in other materials.[1] His company, Kenneth Budd and Associates[2] was based in Penge, south London.[3]

Budd was born in Fulham,[4] London, and studied at Beckenham School of Art from 1941–1944, then at the Royal College of Art from 1947–1950.[1] He first worked for the firm of William Mitchell & Partners of Forest Hill, London.[4]

He was made an Associate of the Royal College of Art in 1950.[1]

Later in his career, he worked with his son Oliver,[5] who continues to make murals and has redone some of his father's work.[6] In January 2015 Oliver Budd appeared in Episode 2 of the BBC mini-series Sacred Wonders of Britain discussing the Roman mosaics of Lullingstone Roman Villa.[7]
