William Morley Punshon McFee[1] (15 June 1881 – 2 July 1966) was an English writer of sea stories.

[5] As a youth, McFee worked in an engineering shop at Aldersgate, wrote a 40-page poem, and lectured on Rudyard Kipling.

During World War I, McFee served in the Royal Navy as an engineer in various transport ships.

One of his book reviews was for the novel Save Me the Waltz (1932) by Zelda Fitzgerald, in which he said, "In this book, with all its crudity of conception, its ruthless purloinings of technical tricks and its pathetic striving after philosophic profundity, there is the promise of a new and vigorous personality in fiction."

"[7] McFee's works included In the First Watch (1946), an autobiography, published by Random House of Canada.
