Anthony Kennedy Warder (8 September 1924 – 8 January 2013) was a British Indologist.

His thesis, supervised by John Brough, was entitled Pali Metre: A Study of the Evolution of Early Middle Indian Metre Based on the Verse Preserved in the Pali Canon.

(When it was published in 1967, the title was changed to Pali Metre: A Contribution to the History of Indian Literature.)

He based this popular primer on extracts from the Dīgha Nikāya, and took the then revolutionary step of treating Pali as an independent language, not just a derivative of Sanskrit.

Studies on Buddhism in Honour of Professor A. K. Warder was published in 1993, edited by Narendra K. Wagle and Fumimaro Watanabe.
