Brian Moore (August 25, 1921 - January 11, 1999) was a novelist. His Christian name is pronounced in Irish (Bree-an). He published twenty novels, was awarded the James Tait Black Memorial Prize in 1975 and the inaugural Sunday Express Book of the Year award in 1987, was shortlisted for the Booker Prize three times and also worked as a screenwriter.

He also demonstrated an unusual male insight into female psychology, with women as the central narrative character in several of his books.
