Juliana Horatia Ewing (née Gatty) (1841—1885) was an English writer of children's stories. She was the second of ten children of the Reverend Alfred Gatty, the vicar of Ecclesfield in Yorkshire, and Margaret Gatty, who was herself a children's author.

On 1 June 1867, she was married to Major Alexander Ewing (1830-1895) of the army pay department. Within a week of their marriage, Ewing left England for New Brunswick, Canada, where her husband had received a new posting. They remained there for two years, before returning to England in 1869. Though her husband was sent overseas again, to Malta in 1879 and Sri Lanka in 1881, her poor health would not allow her to accompany him. In 1885, she moved to Bath, in the hopes that the change of air would do her good. However, her health continued to deteriorate, and after an unsuccessful operation, she died there on 13 May 1885. She was given a military funeral at Trull, Somerset, three days later.

Roger Lancelyn Green calls her works the "first outstanding child-novels" in English literature. Among her works, which are notable for their sympathetic insight into child-life, their admiration for military life, and their reflection of her strong Anglican faith, are: Mrs. Overtheway's Remembrances (1869), A Flat Iron for a Farthing (1872), Six to Sixteen (1875), Jan of the Windmill (1876), Jackanapes (1884), and The Story of a Short Life (1885).

A talented artist herself, her works were frequently illustrated by such notables as George Cruikshank and Randolph Caldecott. She was also the editor of a number of magazines which published short stories for children, such as the Nursery Magazines from 1856 onwards, the Monthly Packet and the monthly Aunt Judy's Magazine from 1866.
