Susan Scarlett is a pseudonym of the author Noel Streatfeild (1895-1986). She was born in Sussex, England, the second of five surviving children of William Champion Streatfeild, later the Bishop of Lewes, and Janet Venn.

Her familiarity with the stage was the basis for many of her popular books.Her first children's book was Ballet Shoes (1936), which launched a successful career writing for children. In addition to children's books and memoirs, she also wrote fiction for adults, including romantic novels under the name 'Susan Scarlett'. The twelve Susan Scarlett novels are now republished by Dean Street Press.Noel Streatfeild was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 1983.
