**Anthony Burgess** (25.2. 1917 – 22.11. 1993.) bio je britanski romanopisac, kritičar i kompozitor. Također je bio aktivan kao libretist, pjesnik, pijanist, dramatičar, scenarist, novinar, esejist, putopisac, spiker, prevodilac, lingvist i edukator.

Rođen je u Harpurhey, blizu Manchestera na sjeverozapadu Engleske, a veliki dio života je proveo u Jugoistočnoj Aziji, SAD i na Mediteranu.

Burgessova proza uključuje malajsku trilogiju (*The Long Day Wanes*), o sumraku Britanskog Imperija na Istoku; kvartet romana Enderbyju, samotnom pjesniku i njegovoj muzi; *Nothing Like the Sun*, klasičnu spekulativnu rekonstrukciju Shakespeareovog ljubavnog života; kultno istraživanje prirod zla *A Clockwork Orange*; i remek-djelo *Earthly Powers*, panoramsku sagu o 20. vijeku.

Burgess je pisao kritičke studije o Joyceu, Hemingwayu, Shakespeareu i Lawrenceu, traktate o lingvistici *Language Made Plain* i *A Mouthful of Air*, te je bio plodan novinar, pišući na nekoliko jezika.

Preveo je i adaptirao *Cyrano de Bergerac*, *Kralj Edip* i *Carmen* za teatar; napisao scenarije za mini-serije *Jesus of Nazareth* i *Moses the Lawgiver*; izmislio prahistorijski jezik koji se govori u filmu *Potraga za vatrom*; i komponirao Sinfoni Melayu, Simfoniju (No. 3) u C-duru i operu *Blooms of Dublin*.
