Charles John Huffam Dickens (Landport bij Portsmouth, 7 februari 1812 — Higham (Kent), 9 juni 1870) was een van de belangrijkste Engelse schrijvers tijdens het victoriaans tijdperk en de eerste literaire chroniqueur van de grootstad midden in de industriële revolutie. Tot na de Eerste Wereldoorlog bleef hij Engelands populairste schrijver. Hij verwierf bekendheid met The Pickwick Papers (The posthumous papers of the Pickwick Club) dat vanaf 1836 maandelijks verscheen. Daarna verschenen Oliver Twist in het door hem geredigeerde tijdschrift Bentley's Miscellany in 1837-1838, Nicholas Nickleby in 1838-1839, en Barnaby Rudge, beide in 1841. Zijn beroemdste romans zijn David Copperfield (1849-1850, deels autobiografisch), Great Expectations (1860-1861), Oliver Twist, Nicholas Nickleby en A Christmas Carol (1843). A tale of two cities staat met 200 miljoen exemplaren op nummer zeven van 's werelds meest verkochte boeken. Kenmerkend voor zijn verhalen zijn de sociale misstanden, de verhaalopbouw, de cartooneske karakters en de humor.
