Sheila Llewellyn (born 1948 or 1949) is a writer from Northern Ireland.
Her first novel, Walking Wounded (2018), was based on events in Burma in the Second World War when a decision was made to kill some seriously injured soldiers who could not be evacuated, rather than leave them to possible torture by the approaching Japanese army. The Guardian's reviewer called it a "quietly self-assured first novel" and "a beautifully turned piece of work", which bore comparison to Pat Barker's Regeneration trilogy.
Her second novel, Winter in Tabriz (2021), set in Iran in 1979, won the inaugural Gordon Bowker Volcano Prize, for a novel focusing on travel, in 2022. Philip Hensher chose it as one of his "Books of the Year" in The Spectator, describing it as "a revelation – long considered and slowly overwhelming with its sense of time and place".
