Robert Edward Francillon (1841–1919) was an English journalist and author, active in the late 19th century.

History

Francillon trained as a barrister but turned to journalism, and was at various times a contributor to Blackwood's Magazine and an editor of Tatler. He contributed for many years to the Christmas numbers of The Gentleman's Magazine.[1] He was managing editor of The Globe in 1890.[2]

He was a member, with Swinburne and several other luminaries, of Thomas Purnell's literary club "Decemviri".

He sold many short stories to newspapers; most of those published in Australia may be read on-line thanks to the Trove service of the National Library of Australia.

He married a daughter of composer John Barnett, a god-daughter of Franz Liszt.[3]
