Henry Eliot is a British author.

Eliot's first book, Curiocity, grew out of a 2009 six edition map-magazine of the same title.[1] The Guardian said that " its delight in trivia is infectious".[1] The Evening Standard called it "endlessly fascinating".[2] The Times Literary Supplement noted its "fresh flashes of insight".[3]

Eliot has produced two volumes on Penguin books, The Penguin Classics Book and The Penguin Modern Classics Book, particularly focusing on jacket design.[4]
