Ian R. MacLeod (born 1956) was born in Solihull, United Kingdom. He is a science fiction and fantasy author.

He is the author of the novels The Light Ages and The House of Storms, which are set in an alternate universe nineteenth century England, where aether, a substance that can be controlled by the mind, has ossified English society into guilds and has retarded technological progress.

MacLeod's first novel, The Great Wheel, was published in 1997, and won the Locus Award for the Year’s Best First novel.

MacLeod's shorter works have been collected in Breathmoss and Other Exhalations and Voyages by Starlight. His novella The Summer Isles won the Sidewise Award for Alternate History in 1998. The story also received the World Fantasy Award. Originally written at novel length, MacLeod published the shorter version, with the full-length version only being published in 2005. This full length version also won the Sidewise Award in 2006 (for a novel first published in 2005), thus becoming the only story to win the same award twice, albeit in two differing formats, novel and novella. He won the World Fantasy Award again in 2000 for his novelette The Chop Girl.
