John Harding (1951-2017) was a British author.

Harding was born in Prickwillow, near Ely, Cambridgeshire] in 1951 and after attending local schools read English at St Catherine's College, Oxford. After university, he moved to London, where he worked for as a reporter for DC Thomson. After eventually becoming editor for several popular magazines, Harding went freelance to pursue his ambition of becoming a novelist. His first book: What We Did on Our Holiday, was adapted for TV in 2006 and should not be confused with a later film of the same name. The book describes a man taking his father, who has advanced Parkinson's Disease, on vacation to Malta. Harding would go on to publish four more novels, all of which received critical acclaim.

Harding married, had two sons and lived in Richmond up on Thames. He died in September 2017.
