Ewan William Anderson (1938–) is an English academic expert on geopolitics, economic and social geography. He is also a former English first class cricketer who played all his games for Oxford University Cricket Club; and has exhibited his drawings of trees in both Britain and the US.

Anderson's work has focused upon geopolitics: the application of all facets of geography in political decision-making and development studies. His particular emphasis has been on applied research in the arid and semi-arid zone, with special reference to the Middle East; on water and minerals resources issues; and on international boundary disputes. He is also an expert on child welfare issues.

Anderson is Emeritus Professor of Geopolitics at the University of Durham, England; Visiting Professor of Middle Eastern Development Studies at the University of Exeter, England; Visiting Professor at York St John University; Special Adviser to the Strategic Studies Research Centre, University of Al Akhawayn, Morocco; and Distinguished Research Fellow, Centre for International Trade and Security, University of Georgia, USA.

born 28 March 1938 in Bromley, Kent. After serving in the Royal Navy, he attended St Edmund Hall, Oxford and first played for Oxford University Cricket Club in 1961. His highest score of 13* came when playing for Oxford University in the match against Leicestershire County Cricket Club. His best bowling of 3/69 came when playing for Oxford University in the match against Glamorgan County Cricket Club.

After graduating, he worked as a teacher at Downside and Birkenhead schools. In 1972, he was appointed principal lecturer at the College of St Hild and St Bede, Durham, and in 1979 became lecturer in geography at the University of Durham. In 1995 he was appointed Professor of Geopolitics at the Centre for Middle Eastern and Islamic Studies at Durham, a post he held until 2001.
