Angus Watson (born 4 September 1972) is a British novelist and journalist.

He is published by science fiction and fantasy imprint Orbit Books.

[4] He came up with the idea of writing a fantasy trilogy set in the Iron Age when exploring British hillforts for the Telegraph.

As a freelance journalist Watson has worked for the Telegraph, the Times and the Financial Times, writing features which included looking for Bigfoot in the USA (Telegraph), swimming with sea lions off the Galapagos Islands (Times) and diving on the scuppered German World War One fleet at Scapa Flow (FT).

Publishers Weekly said 'Watson’s tale is gore soaked and profanity laden—full of visceral combat and earthy humor, and laced with subtle magic'.
