A. Bertram Chandler właściwie Arthur Bertram Chandler (1912-1984) brytyjski autor science fiction i fantasy. Najbardziej znany z cyklu Rim World, na który składa się 30 powieści, kilkanaście omnibusów i zbiorów opowiadań.
Chandler urodził się w Anglii, ale w 1956 roku wyemigrował do Australii i zmienił obywatelstwo. Zawodowo był oficerem marynarki handlowej.
Swoje doświadczenia ze służby na morzach przekładał do opowiadań - zastępując statki morskie na statki kosmiczne. Taki jest jego wspomniany cykl Rim World, którego bohaterem jest marynarz John Grimes.
