List of Famous people named Mervyn

Mervyn Laurence Peake was an English writer, artist, poet, and illustrator. He is best known for what are usually referred to as the Gormenghast books. The three works were part of what Peake conceived as a lengthy cycle, the completion of which was prevented by his death. They are sometimes compared to the work of his older contemporary J. R. R. Tolkien, but Peake's surreal fiction was influenced by his early love for Charles Dickens and Robert Louis Stevenson rather than Tolkien's studies of mythology and philology.

Mervyn Niall Wingfield was the 10th Viscount Powerscourt, and also Baron Powerscourt, of Powerscourt in the County of Wicklow, in the Peerage of the United Kingdom, succeeding his father April 3, 1973. He died in 2015 in Thailand.
