Kristian Gravenor is a Canadian author, blogger and news reporter in Montreal, Quebec. He has written over a thousand articles about Montreal for a variety of magazines and newspapers, starting with a weekly column in the Westmount Examiner which he wrote at age 16.

In 2002 he co-authored with his brother John David Gravenor the Montreal guidebook Montreal: The Unknown City.
