Christianna Brand, eigentlich Mary Christianna Milne Lewis (1907–1988), war eine britische Schriftstellerin, die vor allem durch ihre Kriminalromane bekannt wurde. Ihre ersten Lebensjahre verbrachte sie in Indien, bis sie nach England übersiedelte und den Chirurgen Roland Lewis heiratete. Sie arbeitete zunächst als Erzieherin, Verkäuferin und Sekretärin, bis sie dann mit der Schriftstellerei begann. Ihr erster Kriminalroman ›Death in High Heels‹ erschien 1941. Ihr Werk ›Green for Danger‹ wurde 1946 mit Alastair Sim in der Hauptrolle verfilmt. Ferner schrieb Brand einige Kinderbücher und erhielt mehrere Auszeichnungen. ›Green for Danger‹ wurde im Jahre 2000 von der Independent Mystery Booksellers Association in die Liste der 100 beliebtesten Kriminalromane des 20. Jahrhunderts aufgenommen.
