Warriner's English Grammar and Composition is a series of textbooks on English grammar and composition by John E. Warriner, consisting initially of six books targeted at grades 6 through 12, in numerous editions, with publication beginning in 1946 and a 7th book added in 1959.

[3] John E. Warriner (c. 1907–1987) earned a Bachelor's in English in 1930 from the University of Michigan, followed by a Master's from Harvard.

He then taught at the New Jersey State Teachers College, and later Garden City High School.

[4] In 1942 or 1943, Warriner was approached by a publisher's sales representative about revising a grammar book dating from 1898.

[4] Warriner retired from teaching in 1962, and spent the following years working at Harcourt's offices a few days a week, and traveling to promote the series.
