Kathleen Dalziel (1881–1969) was an Australian writer who was born in Durban, Colony of Natal in 1881.

Born Laura Kathleen Natalie Walker, she arrived in Australia with her family in 1887, where they lived in an isolated area south of Burnie in north-west Tasmania.

The family moved to Colac, and later, Melbourne where she remained for the rest of her life.

[2] Dalziel was a prolific writer of poetry who regularly contributed to The Bulletin.

She published her first work in 1898 in The Tasmanian Mail, but it was not until the mid-1920s that she began to gain wider recognition.
