Brian Moore, was a novelist and screenwriter from Northern Ireland who emigrated to Canada and later lived in the United States.

He was awarded the James Tait Black Memorial Prize in 1975 and the inaugural Sunday Express Book of the Year award in 1987, and he was shortlisted for the Booker Prize three times. Moore also wrote screenplays and several of his books were made into films.
