Robert Del Naja (British, b. 21 January 1966), also known as 3D, is an English artist and musician. His mother is English and his father is Italian. They moved to Bristol, St Andrews in 1966. Originally famous as a graffiti artist and a member of the Bristol group known as "The Wild Bunch". Del Naja went on to become a founding member of the band Massive Attack where he is active to this day.  In 2009, he received the British Academy's Ivor Novello Award for Outstanding Contribution to British Music.

In 2015, Del Naja published the career-spanning 3D and the Art of Massive Attack. During the COVID lockdown, on 19 May 2020 Del Naja launched his Fire Sale website store, selling Protection, a limited-edition print, in aid of the Bristol Food Union. The print raised more than £100,000 for the charity.[34]

In July 2020, Massive Attack released a political audiovisual EP called Eutopia: The 3x track fusion was created across five cities during the Covid-19 global lockdown period. The project was co-written and produced by 3D and Mark Donne, featuring strong arguments for global system change from UN Paris Climate Agreement author Christiana Figueres, founder of the universal basic income principle professor Guy Standing and inventor of the US wealth tax policy Professor Gabriel Zucman.

In June 2021, Del Naja was presented with a Royal College of Art honorary doctorate - nominated and presented by Sir Jony Ive.
