Ian Niall (7 November 1916 – 24 June 2002), born John Kincaid McNeillie, was a writer from Galloway, Scotland.
He moved back to Galloway at 18 months old, and the area formed a basis for his early fiction.
In the 1940s he moved to North Wales, where his son, the writer Andrew McNeillie, was born.
The 1951 film No Resting Place, based on Ian Niall's novel, was directed by Paul Rotha and produced by Colin Lesslie Productions.
