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 tzv. 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.
