Brian David Ripley (born April 29, 1952) is a distinguished statistician, professor of Applied Statistics at the University of Oxfordand a Professorial fellow at St Peter's College.

Ripley has made important contributions to the fields of spatial statistics, pattern recognition, and has been influential in the development of the S and its implementations in S-PLUS and R. Ripley has coauthored 2 books based on S, "Modern Applied Statistics with S" and "S Programming". His work on artificial neural networks (and also Leo Breiman's work in related areas) in the 1990s was highly influential in bringing aspects of machine learning and data mining to statistical audiences.

Ripley is a prominent contributor to the R-help mailing list.

He has made important contributions to the theory of Markov Chain Monte Carlo and, in "Modern Applied Statistics with S" and "Pattern Recognition and Neural Networks" has emphasised the value of robust statistics.

He was educated at the University of Cambridge. He has been on the faculties of Imperial College, London and the University of Strathclyde.
