琼·林赛（1896—1984），澳大利亚著名的小说家、剧作家、散文家和视觉艺术家。年轻时曾经从事绘画创作，后来又开始进行文学创作，四十岁时推出了她的处女作小说《穿越最黑暗的庞德拉约》（Through Darkest Pondelayo）。林赛最享誉盛名的作品《悬崖上的野餐》出版于1967年，是一部带有哥特色彩的历史小说。这部作品出版后即引起巨大社会反响，许多人都怀疑这部作品是真实事件，而作者林赛暧昧的态度更是让这部作品引发热议。《悬崖上的野餐》被公认为澳大利亚最重要的小说之一，1975年被翻拍为同名电影，由拍摄过《楚门的世界》《死亡诗社》等著名影片的导演彼得·威尔执导，获1977年英国电影学院奖最佳摄影奖。
