Ralph Rumney (5 June 1934, Newcastle Upon Tyne - 6 March 2002, Manosque, Provence) was an artist and co-founder of the Situationist International.
In 1957 he co-founded the London Psychogeographical Association. This organization was, along with COBRA and the Lettrist International, involved in the formation of the Situationist International]]. However, within seven months Rumney had been 'amiably' expelled from the SI by Debord for allegedly "failing to hand in a psychogeography report about Venice on time." He spent much of his life living as a wanderer.
