Francis George Fowler (1871-1918), familiarly known as F.G. Fowler, was an English writer on language and grammar. He was the brother of Henry Watson Fowler, who was his co-author on the influential The King's English, published in 1906. The brothers Fowler worked on what was to become Fowler's Modern English Usage but F.G. died before it was completed. He was a graduate of Cambridge University and lived on Guernsey in the Channel Islands. He died during World War I of tuberculosis at age forty-seven. Henry would dedicate his Modern English Usage to Francis, writing "he had a nimbler wit, a better sense of propriety, and a more open mind, than his twelve-year older partner."
