Douglas Kear Murray (born 16 July 1979) is a British conservative political commentator, cultural critic, author, and journalist. He is an associate editor of the conservative British political and cultural magazine The Spectator, and has been a regular contributor to The Times, The Daily Telegraph, The Sun, the Daily Mail, New York Post, National Review, The Free Press, and UnHerd.

His books include Neoconservatism: Why We Need It (2006), The Strange Death of Europe: Immigration, Identity, Islam (2017), The Madness of Crowds: Gender, Race and Identity (2019), The War on the West (2022), and On Democracies and Death Cults: Israel, Hamas and the Future of the West (2025).

Murray was the associate director of the Henry Jackson Society, a conservative think tank, from 2011 to 2018.

Murray is a critic of immigration into Europe and of Islam. He became better known internationally due to his advocacy for Israel after the October 7 attacks in 2023.

Murray has been praised by conservatives and criticised by others. Articles in the academic journals Ethnic and Racial Studies and National Identities associate his views with Islamophobia and he has been described as promoting far-right ideas such as the Eurabia, Great Replacement, and Cultural Marxism conspiracy theories.

Early life and education

Murray was born in Hammersmith, London, to an English school teacher mother and a Scottish, Gaelic-speaking father who had been born on the Isle of Lewis and who worked as a civil servant. He has one elder brother. In an interview with The Herald, Murray stated that his father had intended to be in London temporarily but stayed after meeting his mother, and that they "encouraged a good discussion around the dinner table" when he was growing up but "neither are political."

Murray was educated at his local state primary and secondary schools, before going to a comprehensive which had previously been a grammar school. Recalling this experience in 2011, he wrote, "My parents had been promised that the old grammar school standards and ethos remained, but none did. By the time I arrived, the school was what would now be described as 'an inner-city sink school', a war zone similar to those many of the children's parents had escaped from." Murray's parents withdrew him from the school after a year. He won scholarships to St Benedict's School, Ealing, and subsequently to Eton College, taught briefly at a school near Aberdeen, then took a degree in English at Magdalen College, Oxford.

Publications

At age 19, while in his second year at the University of Oxford, Murray's Bosie: A Biography of Lord Alfred Douglas was published, which Christopher Hitchens described as "masterly". Bosie was awarded a Lambda Award for gay biography in 2000. After leaving Oxford, Murray wrote a play, Nightfall, about the Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg, who rescued thousands of Jews from the Nazis.

In 2006 Murray authored a defence of neoconservatism – Neoconservatism: Why We Need It – and went on a speaking tour promoting the book in the United States. The publication was subsequently reviewed in the Arabic newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat by the Iranian author Amir Taheri: "Whether one agrees with him or not Murray has made a valuable contribution to the global battle of ideas." In 2007, he assisted in the writing of the Center for Strategic and International Studies's report Towards a Grand Strategy for an Uncertain World: Renewing Transatlantic Partnership, written by Klaus Naumann, John Shalikashvili, Lord Inge, Jacques Lanxade, and Henk van den Breemen. His book Bloody Sunday: Truths, Lies and The Saville Inquiry was (jointly) awarded the 2011–2012 Christopher Ewart-Biggs Memorial Prize and longlisted for the 2012 Orwell Book Prize. In June 2013, Murray's self-published e-book Islamophilia: a Very Metropolitan Malady was released.
