詹姆斯·格雷厄姆·“J·G”·巴拉德(,),英國小說家、短篇小說作家、散文家。
巴拉德一直以來被認為是世界末日(或後世界末日)小說大師,如《被淹沒的世界》(,1962),《燃燒的世界》(,1964)和《水晶世界》(,1966)。雖然巴拉德的許多小说主題和敘事颇不尋常,但是最著名的作品,还是相對傳統的戰爭小說,半自传体的《太阳帝国》(1984年)描写一个英国小男孩在日本占领上海期间的经历,被《卫报》形容為英國最好的关于二战的小說,并于1987年由斯皮尔伯格改编为同名电影。

巴拉德的父亲是曼彻斯特的兆祥洋行(又名震寰织造厂有限公司,Calico Printers' Association)上海子公司纶昌漂染印花有限公司(China Printing and Finishing Company,创建于1925年,设于四川中路220号)的经理。巴拉德在上海公共租界沪西越界筑路的哥伦比亚路(今长宁区番禺路508号馨悦会所)的一幢豪宅出生长大,该区的外侨在那里过着美国的生活方式。巴拉德就读于外滩附近圣三一座堂的附属座堂男校。1937年淞沪会战爆发后,巴拉德一家被迫暂时撤离郊区的住宅,在上海市中心租了一幢房子,以避免中国和日本军队的炮击。1941年太平洋战争爆发后,日本人占领了上海公共租界。1943年初,他们将盟国平民关押进龙华集中营,巴拉德和他的父母和妹妹都被关押在那里,度过了两年时间,直到战争结束。
