Rodney Pople (born 6 September 1952) is an Australian visual artist.

Biography Pople was born on 6 September 1952, in Launceston. His works have been the cause of some controversy. Pople studied photography in Tasmania, and sculpture at Slade School of Fine Art, London. He teaches at the National Art School in Sydney. In 2010, works in an exhibition entitled "Bellini 21c" were the focus of protests. The works included images of Bellini's San Zaccaria Altarpiece overlaid with pornography. Later in that year, a work entitled "Degas's Night" which included Degas' sculpture Little Dancer of Fourteen Years on the background of red-light district in Darlinghurst, New South Wales was also the cause of controversy.

He was an Archibald Prize finalist in 2014 and 2015.
