Cyrus Townsend Brady (December 20, 1861 — January 24, 1920) was a journalist, historian and adventure writer. His most well-known work is "Indian Fights and Fighters". He was born in Allegheny, Pennsylvania, and graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1883. He was also a deacon in the Episcopal church. His first wife was Clarissa Guthrie, who died in 1890. His second wife was Mary Barrett.

Brady's first major book "For Love of Country" whilst telling the story of a fictitious John Seymour was actually based in part on the true heroics of Nicholas Biddle one of the first five captains of fledgling the Continental Navy.

Brady died in Yonkers, New York of pneumonia at age 59.
