Ronald Anthony "Ron" Berry was a Welsh writer of English language novels and short stories. Many of Berry's books reflect the working class of the industrial Rhondda Valleys where he grew up and lived for most of his life.

Largely overlooked during his lifetime, Berry has more recently been embraced by contemporary Welsh authors including Rachel Trezise and Niall Griffiths, and also by contemporary researchers.

The Glamorgan County History series describes Berry as "...unjustly neglected... ...whose fiction thrives on those very aspects of Rhondda life that broke the spirit of Gwyn Thomas's imagination." ...more

Quotes by Ron Berry (?)

“We came out on Coldra Crescent, one of those warm air nights, stars spitting in the sky like firebugs stuck on a big black velvet rump. A summer night to make anybody with standard glands feel that tidy homes, spring mattresses, four guaranteed meals per day, and legalised religion were all criminal to human development.”
― Ron Berry, So Long, Hector Bebb
