Kenneth Stephen "Ken" Done (born 29 June 1940) is an Australian artist best known for his design work.
Although Done's simple, vividly colored photographs of Australian landmarks have adorned a wide variety of clothing and homewares under his "Done Design" brand, his primary aim is to be a painter.
"Anyone who has anything to do with him knows he is a serious artist," art critic John McDonald said.
