John Gardner (britanski pisac)

Ne treba izjednačavati sa John Gardner (američki pisac).

James Edmund Gardner (20. novembar 1926 - 3. august 2007) je bio engleski književnik čija su specijalnost bili špijunski i kriminalistički žanr. Najpoznatiji je po seriji romana o nespretnom obavještajcu Boysie Oakesu, zamišljenom kao svojevrsna parodija Jamesa Bonda; nešto kasnije mu je povjereno pisanje službenih romana o Bondu.
