My Brother Jonathan is a 1928 novel by the British writer Francis Brett Young.[1] It portrays the life of an idealistic young doctor working in the Black Country before the First World War, forced to deal with the consequences of his irresponsible brother Harold.

The Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin was a fan of Young's work, and took a copy of My Brother Jonathan to Chequers with him shortly after its publication.[2]
