J·G·巴拉德（James Graham "J. G." Ballard）1930年11月15日- 2009年4月19日）英国小说家，短篇小说作家，散文家。他生于上海公共租界，并在二战期间生活在日本人创建的龙华集中营里。

巴拉德一直以来被认为是世界末日（或后世界末日）小说大师，如《被淹没的世界》（1962），《燃烧的世界》（1964）和《水晶世界》（1966）。

虽然巴拉德的许多故事主题和叙事不寻常，相对传统的战争小说《太阳帝国》（1984年）被形容为英国最好的小说。

James Graham "J. G." Ballard (15 November 1930 –19 April 2009) was an English novelist, short story writer, and essayist. He came to be associated with the New Wave of science fiction early in his career with apocalyptic (or post-apocalyptic) novels such as The Drowned World (1962) and The Crystal World (1966). In the late 1960s, Ballard produced a variety of experimental short stories (or "condensed novels"), such as those collected in The Atrocity Exhibition (1970), which drew comparisons with the work of postmodernist writers such as William S. Burroughs. In the mid 1970s, he published several novels, among them the highly controversial Crash (1973), a story about symphorophilia and car crash fetishism, and High-Rise (1975), a depiction of a luxury apartment building's descent into tribal warfare.
