Geoff Crowther (15 March 1944 – 13 April 2021) was a British travel writer who wrote for BIT and Lonely Planet.

At the University of Liverpool, he studied biochemistry, and considered staying on to undertake a doctorate, but in the end his desire to travel proved too great.

[1][2][3] In 1972, he joined the alternative information service BIT, where he oversaw the production of Overland to India and Australia.

The guide impressed Tony and Maureen Wheeler, and in 1976 they invited him to join Lonely Planet.

[2] He died in South East Queensland on 13 April 2021, at the age of seventy-seven, as a result of complications arising from dementia.
