Christopher Ronald Mark Lancaster (14 May 1938 – 30 April 2021) was a British-American artist and set designer who worked extensively with the Cunningham Dance Company.

Upon returning to England, he shared his experiences with colleagues at Newcastle such as Bryan Ferry, Stephen Buckley, Nicholas deVille, Tim Head and Keith Milow.

Lancaster's paintings at this time focused on the ambience of Cambridge and the architecture of King's College, and have elements of American modernism and pop imagery.

[3] His work was shown at international exhibitions organized by the British Council, including the Paris Biennale and the National Gallery of Art in 1970.

[4] Over the next ten years, he designed sets, costumes, and lighting for a number of dance works, including Sounddance (1975), Squaregame (1976), Roadrunners (1979), Gallopade (1981), Fielding Sixes (1983) and Doubles (1984).

He retired from the Cunningham Dance Company in 1984 but returned in 1988 to design Dive Stone Wind in Berlin, Avignon and New York, for which he received a 1989 Bessie Award.
