Algernon Charles Swinburne (Londres, 5 de abril de 1837 - Londres, 10 de abril de 1909) foi um poeta, dramaturgo, romancista e crítico inglês da época vitoriana, conhecido pela controvérsia gerada no seu tempo pelos seus temas sadomasoquistas, lésbicos, fúnebres e anti-religiosos. Algernon foi indicado para o Prêmio Nobel de Literatura por vários anos do início do século XX.
Escreveu vários romances, entre eles o livro "Flossie, a Vênus de Quinze Anos" de 1897, e contribuiu para a famosa décima primeira edição da Encyclopædia Britannica.
