Ian Kincaid (born November 25, 1954) is a gaffer. Born in Santa Barbara, California, under his birth name Ian Rush Kincaid, he pursued a career behind the scenes in the camera and electrical department rather than as an actor or cinematographer. Beginning his career in the early 1990s, Kincaid serv ... ed as gaffer or chief lighting technician on a number of films.

His longstanding collaboration with cinematographer Robert Richardson, ASC, brought him onto high-profile projects. He worked on Casino (1995), where Richardson credited him among his “crack crew.” Subsequently, he contributed to Snow Falling on Cedars (1999), Kill Bill: Vol. 2 (2004), and Inglourious Basterds (2009) as gaffer. Continuing into the 2000s and 2010s, Kincaid served as part of the lighting team on films such as Django Unchained(2012), Hugo (2011), Eat Pray Love (2010), World War Z (2013), and The Hateful Eight (2015), in roles such as gaffer or chief lighting technician.
