Rowland Lockey (1565 - 1616) was an English painter and goldsmith. Son of a crossbow maker in St bride's parish, London, Lockey was apprenticed to the miniature painter and goldsmith Nicholas Hilliard. A painting of King James I of England and VI, in the National Portrait Gallery London, is attributed to him. In 1609 he scratched his name in a cave at Buxton, while he was a guest of the earl of Shrewsbury.
