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.

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.
