'''Group X''' was a short-lived British [[artistic movement]] in the years after the [[First World War]], which held an exhibition in 1920 and planned others that never happened.

In 1920, some former members of the pre-War [[Vorticist]] movement abruptly left the [[London Group]] of which they had been part. Six – [[Jessica Dismorr]], [[Frederick Etchells]], [[Cuthbert Hamilton]], [[Wyndham Lewis]], [[William Roberts (painter)|William Roberts]] and [[Edward Wadsworth]] – were joined by the sculptor [[Frank Dobson (sculptor)|Frank Dobson]], [[Charles Ginner]], the American [[Edward McKnight Kauffer]] and [[John Turnbull (artist)|John Turnbull]] to found Group X.{{r|grove|tate}}

The group exhibited at the [[Mansard Gallery]] in Heal's in the [[Tottenham Court Road]] from 26 March to 24 April 1920.{{r|jstor|page=246}}
