John Burland Harris-Burland (1870-1926) was a British writer, known for his early fantasy stories.

He was born in 1870 in Aldershot,[1] the son of Major General William Burland Harris-Burland, decorated for his part in the Crimean War.,[2]

He attended Sherborne School, but due to health reasons could not enter a military career like his father, so he studied at a theological college, intending to become a clergyman, before changing his mind and entering Exeter College. [3]

In 1893 his poem "Amy Roberts" won the Newdigate Prize. [4]

His first novel was the 1903 "Dacobra, or the White Priests of Ahriman".

He died in 1926.
