Theodore Francis Powys (1875-1953) was a British writer, a younger brother of John Cowper Powys.

Born in Shirley [ [http://www.peakdistrictonline.co.uk/content.php?categoryId=2610 The Derbyshire Powys] accessed June 2007] , Derbyshire, with a clergyman father of Welsh origin, T. F. Powys spent most of his life in the West Country, writing mostly while living at East Chaldon in Dorset.
