Ian Lancaster Fleming (1908 - 1964) was a British author, best remembered for the James Bond series of novels.

Born on May 28, 1908 in Mayfair, London, England, Ian Fleming was the younger brother of the travel writer, Peter Fleming. He was educated at Eton College and Sandhurst military academy, then went to university on the Continent to study languages. He worked as a journalist and stockbroker before the Second World War. On the eve of war he was recruited as personal assistant to the Director of Naval Intelligence, John Godfrey. This gave him the background and experience to write somewhat convincing spy novels. The first James Bond story, Casino Royale, was published in 1953.

Besides the twelve Bond novels, Fleming is also known for the children's story, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

Ian Fleming died on August 12, 1964 and is interred in the Church yard cemetery at Sevenhampton, Swindon, England next to his wife Anne and son, Casper.
