William Arthur Dunkerley (November 12 1852 - January 23 1941) was a prolific British journalist, novelist and poet. He was born in Manchester.
He wrote under his own name, and also as John Oxenham for his poetry, including Bees in Amber: a little book of thoughtful verse (1913) which became a bestseller, hymn-writing, and novels. He used another pseudonym, Julian Ross, for journalism.
Elsie J. Oxenham, the children's writer, is his daughter.
