P. C. Wren

**Percival Christopher Wren** (1. novembar 1875 - 22. novembar 1941) bio je britanski književnik, najpoznatiji kao autor pustolovnog romana *[[Beau Geste]]*, posvećenog francuskoj Legiji stranaca.

Po struci je bio nastavnik, i mnogo godina je proveo u Britanskoj Indiji. O njegovom životu između 1917. i 1922. godine, pak, ne postoje gotovo nikakvi pouzdani podaci, pa su se zbog toga javile hipoteze da ih je proveo služeći u Legiji. U svakom slučaju, *Beau Geste*, objavljen 1924. godine je pružio izuzetno detaljan i autentičan opis legionarskog života. Roman je postigao veliki uspjeh te potakao Wrena da napiše još nekoliko nastavaka, a više puta je adaptiran u hollywoodske filmove.
