Sir Owen Seaman (18 September 1861 - 2 February 1936) was a British writer, journalist and poet. He is best known as editor of Punch, from 1906 to 1932.
In 1914 he was knighted, more likely for his creativity than for his patriotism, which saw fuller bloom in the course of World War I. During the war, he wrote "number of verses of a somewhat mindless, patriotic kind, reflecting the optimism and devotion to his native land rather than the stirrings of poetic genius," as anthologist John M. Munro put it.[3] In 1915, he published War Time, a book of poetry that Munro described as "a mixture of satiric verse and patriotic doggerel." Nevertheless, in 1933, he was created a baronet. Sir Owen never married, and died in 1936. He is buried in Putney Vale Cemetery.
