Major Francis Charles Claydon Yeats-Brown, DFC (15 August 1886 – 19 December 1944) was an officer in the British Indian army and the author of the memoir The Lives of a Bengal Lancer, for which he was awarded the 1930 James Tait Black Memorial Prize.[citation needed]

His admiration and advocacy of Italian fascism cost him his role as editor of the Everyman paper in 1933.
