Piers Torday (born 1974) is a British children's writer. The son of the novelist Paul Torday, he was born in Northumberland and was a theatre and television producer for many years.[1][2]

His book The Dark Wild (2014) won the Guardian Children's Fiction Prize for 2014.[3] After Torday's father died, leaving an unfinished novel manuscript The Death of An Owl, Torday completed the novel.[1]
