Ralph Rumney (5 June 1934 – 6 March 2002) was an English artist, born in Newcastle Upon Tyne, where his father was an Anglican vicar.
In 1957 lifelong conscientious objector Rumney—he evaded National Service by going on the run in continental Europe—was one of the co-founders of the London Psychogeographical Association.
Amongst those present at the founding in the Italian village of Cosio d'Arroscia were Walter Olmo, Michèle Bernstein (later his second wife), Asger Jorn, and Guy Debord.
However, within seven months Rumney had been "amiably" expelled from the SI by Debord for "failing to hand in a psychogeography report about Venice on time."
Rumney spent much of his life living as a wanderer, and was variously described as both a "recluse" and a "media whore", seeing his existence as a "permanent adventure and endless experiment."
