Mary Stewart (born 12 September 1916 in Sunderland, County Durham) is a popular English novelist, best known for her trilogy about Merlin, which straddles the boundary between the historical novel and the fantasy genre.

She is also the author of many mystery/romance novels, several of which have been adapted for television and/or film. Several of her books are set in Scotland; others are set in exotic locations such as Damascus, the Greek islands, Spain, France, Austria, etc.
