Sir Alan Charles Laurence Whistler (1912-2000) was a British poet and artist, who specialised in glass engraving. He was the younger brother of British designer Rex Whistler (1905-1944) and the father of musician and glass engraver Simon Whistler (1940-2005). He devoted himself to glass engraving, on goblets and bowls blown to his own designs, and on large-scale panels and windows in churches and private houses. He also engraved on three-sided prisms, some of them designed to revolve on a small turntable so that the prism's internal reflections complete the image. The best-known of these was done as a memorial to his elder brother, Rex Whistler. Examples of his work can be found in Salisbury Cathedral, the Ashmolean Museum and Balliol College, Oxford.
