Donald Malcolm was a Scottish author of science fiction and science fact who was active as a writer from the mid-1950s until the mid-1970s.
Malcolm's work was published in the magazines New Worlds, Nebula Science Fiction, Astounding Science Fiction, the anthology series New Writings in SF, and the anthologies Out of This World 4 (1964), Lambda I and Other Stories (1965), and Starfield (1989).
