Ronald Harold Hardy (16 November 1919 – October 1991) was an English novelist and screenwriter. His first novel ''The Place of Jackals'' was published in 1954 to acclaim. Hardy drew on his experiences as a liaison officer in Indochina during World War II in the writing of this novel. A review in ''Time'' magazine claimed that the novel ''"establishes him as Graham Greene's No. 1 disciple."'' Hardy won the 1962 James Tait Black Memorial Prize for his fifth novel ''Act of Destruction''. Besides his seven works of fiction, he wrote one non-fiction book about the construction of the Uganda Railway entitled ''The Iron Snake''.
