Gareth Powell (26 May 1934 – 16 September 2016) was a British-born Australian publisher, journalist, author, and editor. During the 1960s, Powell was managing director of two London publishing houses, and then the New English Library, and achieved a measure of notoriety for publishing Fanny Hill for the former and The Carpetbaggers for the latter. In 1967 he and his family emigrated to Australia. There he published magazines (including men's magazine Chance International and women's magazine POL) and books (including bestseller Now You'll Think I'm Awful), introducing new standards of production quality to the Australian market.
