Tim Knox is a distinguished British art historian and museum director who has held leadership positions at some of the United Kingdom's most prestigious cultural institutions. Born Timothy Aidan John Knox on 9 August 1962, he served as Director of the Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge from 2013 to 2018, where he oversaw one of Britain's leading university art museums.
