Christopher John Brennan (1 November 1870 – 5 October 1932) was an Australian poet, scholar and literary critic. Brennan influenced Australian writers of his own generation and many who succeeded him, including R. D. Fitzgerald, A. D. Hope, Judith Wright and James McAuley.[2] In remembrance, the Fellowship of Australian Writers established the Christopher Brennan Award which is presented annually to “an Australian poet who has written work of sustained quality and distinction”.[8]

Brennan Hall and Library at St John’s College within the University of Sydney, the Christopher Brennan building in the University’s Arts Faculty, and the main library at Saint Ignatius’ College, Riverview are named in his honour.
