Archibald Colquhoun (1912–1964) was a leading translator of modern Italian literature into English.
He later headed Oxford University Press' initiative to bring out Italian literary classics in translation.
He scored his biggest success with Lampedusa's The Leopard, a translation that is still in print.
He was also one of the first translators to introduce Italo Calvino to Anglophone readers.
According to Robin Healey's Twentieth-century Italian Literature in English Translation, Colquhoun was one of the top 10 translators of Italian literature of the last 70 years, alongside Patrick Creagh, Angus Davidson, Frances Frenaye, Stuart Hood, Eric Mosbacher, Isabel Quigly, Raymond Rosenthal, Bernard Wall and William Weaver.
