Patricia Mary St. John (5 April 1919 – 15 August 1993) was a British evangelical writer and missionary. She was known as one of the most prolific evangelical writers of fiction in the latter part of the 20th century. Her book, Treasures of the Snow, was translated into a South African language - Afrikaans - as well. She worked for much of her life as a missionary nurse in Morocco. During her time as a house mother at Clarendon School for Girls which was run by her aunt, she wrote Treasures of the Snow and The Tanglewoods' Secret. Her later novels Star of Light and Secret of the Fourth Candle were based on her experiences in Tangiers. She lived for some years until her death in Canley, Coventry in 1993.
