Douglas Edison Harding (12 February 1909 – 11 January 2007) was an English philosophical writer, mystic, spiritual teacher. He authored several books, including On Having No Head: Zen and the Rediscovery of the Obvious (1961), which presents practical methods aimed at helping readers directly experience non-duality and the concept of anattā (selflessness), rather than merely understanding them intellectually.
