Noel Barber (1909 — 1988) was a British novelist and journalist. Many of his novels, considered exotic, are about his experiences as leading foreign correspondent for the Daily Mail. He had two brothers, Kenneth, a banker and Anthony Barber, Baron Barber.
Most notably, he reported from Morocco, where he was stabbed 5 times, and shot twice in the head by a Soviet sentry in Hungary during the Hungarian revolution, but survived.
