John Michell (born 1933) is a prolific English writer on subjects including the occult, Fortean phenomena, sacred sites, and the lives of noted eccentrics. He was educated at Eton College and Cambridge University. His best known works include The Flying Saucer Vision (1967), The View Over Atlantis (1969, later revised as The New View Over Atlantis, 1986), which stimulated renewed interest in ley lines, City of Revelation (1972), which concerns sacred geometry, and A Little History of Astro-Archaeology (1977). He has also produced a series of "Radical Traditionalist" pamphlets urging a return to the principles of Platonism. In one of these, A Defence of Sacred Measures, he attacks the metric system.
