Lyndall Gordon (born 4 November 1941)[1] is a British-based biographical and former academic writer, known for her literary biographies. She is a senior research fellow at St Hilda's College, Oxford.[2]

Born in Cape Town, she had her undergraduate studies at the University of Cape Town and her doctorate at Columbia University in New York City. She is married to pathologist, Siamon Gordon; they have two daughters.[citation needed]
