Tim Hunkin is a British cartoonist / engineer / artist, who lives in Suffolk. He is best known for creating the BBC TV Series "The Secret Life of Machines", in which the history of function of various household inventions are explained.

He has published numerous books in a distinctive cartoon style. The pier at Southwold has a number of humorously-intended (working) slot machines of his design and making, and a somewhat rude sculptural clock.

He is also the author of a book, "Hunkin's Experiments", which describes a variety of science based pranks, games, and curiosities. Much of the book is freely available online.
