Steve Whitaker (26 June 1955 – 22 February 2008) was a British artist best known as the colourist on the reprint of V for Vendetta.

David Lloyd, the artist on V for Vendetta, said Whitaker "was not only one of the finest colourists Britain has ever produced, but a great artist, a scholar of the comics medium, and a great teacher, too, who I worked with at The London Cartoon Centre in its various incarnations.

"[1] V for Vendetta was originally published in black and white in Warrior, with colour added for the American reprint and continuation.

[2] Whitaker had been an active member of the British Amateur Press Association until it was disbanded in 2004.

Following his death, ex-member Tony Keen announced he would organise a one-off memorial mailing, as he had for fellow BAPAn Andy Roberts.
