John Lions (died December 5, 1998) was an Australian computer scientist. He is best known as the author of Lions' Commentary on UNIX 6th Edition, with Source Code, commonly known as the Lions Book. Lions gained a degree with first-class honours from the University of Sydney in 1959. He earned his doctorate at the University of Cambridge in 1963, and spent the next nine years working for Burroughs in Los Angeles and Canada. In 1972 he moved back to Australia and became a senior lecturer in the Department of Computing at the University of New South Wales, working there until his retirement in July 1995. His most famous work, the Lions Book, was written as course notes for his operating systems course at UNSW. Lions organised the Australian UNIX Users' Group and was its founding president. He was married to Marianne and had three children.
