John Ardagh was a British journalist, writer and broadcaster. He was educated at Sherborne School, Dorset, and Worcester College, Oxford, where he studied classics and philosophy. From 1953 until 1959, he was a staff writer and correspondent for The Times in France and Algeria.

His book The New French Revolution, first published in 1968, has been updated many times, most recently as France in the New Century: Portrait of a Changing Society (1999) Ardagh wrote other books to reflect "real" life in Europe.
