Felix Maurice Hippisley Markham (1908 in Brighton – 1992) was a British historian, known for his biography of Napoleon.

Markham studied both Literae humaniores and modern history at Balliol College, Oxford.[1] He was Fellow and History Tutor at Hertford College, Oxford, from 1931 until 1973.[2]

Markham corresponded with film director Stanley Kubrick over a never-realised project of Kubrick's on Napoleon.[3]
