Arik Levy (born 1963 in Tel Aviv) is an Israeli artist and industrial designer who works across art and design with a multidisciplinary approach. He trained at Art Center Europe in Switzerland, graduating with distinction in 1991, and lives and works in Paris.

After his training he went to Japan, where he developed his ideas through products and pieces made for exhibitions. He then returned to Europe and contributed set designs to contemporary dance and opera. He is best known for the "Rock" series of mineral-like sculptures, which have been shown in public spaces and private collections.

Among his large-scale works are RockGrowth 808, acquired by the Atomium in Brussels, and RockGrowth 2000, installed in Moscow in 2020: a 21-metre sculpture in mirror-polished stainless steel. His works are held in several museum collections, including the Art Institute of Chicago and the Centre Pompidou in Paris.

His legacy lies in the way he joins sculpture, design and scenography, and in the presence of his public installations in several countries.
