Joanna Trollope OBE (born December 9, 1943, in Gloucestershire), is an English novelist.

Joanna Trollope was educated at Reigate County School for Girls followed by St Hugh's College, Oxford. From 1965 to 1967 she worked at the Foreign Office. Then from 1967 to 1979 she was employed in a number of teaching posts before she became a writer full-time.

Trollope's books often treat themes such as family dramas and upmarket romances. They are often written with a striking enchanting realism and a rare understanding of people. Educated at Oxford, she briefly worked in the Foreign Office, before embarking on a teaching career, during which she began to publish her first novels. With their success she stopped teaching to become a full-time author in 1980. She is distantly related to the Victorian novelist, Anthony Trollope and a cousin of the writer and broadcaster James Trollope. Several of her novels have been adapted for television. Her best-known novel is The Rector's Wife.
