Susan Jennifer Lenier (born 9 October 1957) ["International Who's Who in Poetry and Poets' Encyclopaedia", International Biographical Centre, consultant editor Dennis McIntire, 10th ed, Routledge, 2001.] is an English writer.

Lenier was born in Birmingham, schooled on Tyneside and attended Cambridge University.

Her first published collection of poems, "Swansongs" [ "Swansongs" Cambridge & New York: The Oleander Press, 1982] was received with tremendous accolades, and was compared favourably with, and in some cases superior to, Shakespeare. [Daily Mirror, 17 May 1982 page 9]

After graduating from Cambridge in 1980, she received industry funding to spend a year writing and performing in Germany and the UK, before taking a Harkness Scholarship in the US.

She has also written for the stage.
