Rebecca Warren RA (born 1965) is a British visual artist and sculptor. She is particularly well known for her works in clay and bronze and for her arranged vitrines. The artist currently lives and works in London.

Rebecca Warren was born in 1965. From 1989-1992 the artist studied Fine Art at Goldsmiths' College, University of London receiving a BA (Hons). She then attained a Masters in Fine Art from Chelsea College of Art & Design, London (1992–93). From 1993-1994 she was an artist-in-residence at the Ruskin School, Oxford University, Oxford.

Until 1997 a large part of Warren's output was produced as a collaboration with artist Fergal Stapleton.

Warren's early sculptures were made primarily using clay. These pieces often depicted the nude female form and tackled themes of sexuality by making reference to other historical works and artists. For instance, Warren's early works have referenced artists as diverse as Robert Crumb, Edgar Degas, and Alberto Giacometti.

Warren's more recent works have included more sculptures made in metal media such as bronze and steel. In 2009, the artist exhibited her first work in welded steel at her exhibition entitled Feelings. In 2009 the Serpentine Gallery exhibited the first major solo survey of her work. In 2010, The Renaissance Society, in collaboration with the Art Institute of Chicago, presented Warren's first solo exhibition in an American museum.

Also in 2014, she was made a Professor of Painting and Sculpture at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf
