Norman Douglas was a British writer and traveler who lived from 1868 to 1952.

Born in Austria to a wealthy Scottish family, Douglas was educated in England and Germany before embarking on a career as a diplomat. However, he was forced to resign from the British Foreign Service in 1898 after being caught in a scandal involving a young boy. After leaving the diplomatic corps, Douglas turned to write and published his first book, "Siren Land," in 1911.
