Ian Wilson (born 1941) is the prolific author of religious and scientific books. He often mixes the two while examining his various topics, whether it's the Shroud of Turin or life after death.

He graduated in Modern History from Magdalen College, Oxford. He has written and presented a three part Channel 4 TV series based on his book Jesus: The Evidence. He converted from Anglicanism to Roman Catholicism.

He lived in Bristol, England for twenty-six years and now resides in Brisbane, Australia with his wife, Melanie. Their youngest son Noel has since emigrated to Sydney with his family, while their elder son Adrian remains in the UK.
