John Brason (29 June 1924 - 2003) was a British scriptwriter and script editor, best known for the series made in collaboration with television producer Gerard Glaister, Colditz and Secret Army both set during World War II. Brason was known for his anti-communism, among the reasons he believed for the non-broadcast of his final scripted episode of Secret Army, "What Did You Do During the War, Daddy?"
