Sir Sidney Colvin (1845–1927) was a distinguished British curator, art critic, and literary critic. Born into the prominent Anglo-Indian Colvin family, he dedicated his professional life to the evaluation and preservation of cultural works, establishing himself as a respected figure in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century British intellectual circles. Today, Colvin is most widely remembered for his deep personal and professional association with the celebrated novelist and poet Robert Louis Stevenson. His enduring friendship with Stevenson has cemented his place in literary history, overshadowing his individual contributions as a curator and critic.
