Julian Stewart Lindsay is a British composer, currently working as composer-in-residence at Hampton Court House School. He was trained at the Royal Academy of Music in London.

Lindsay collaborated as a songwriter with Carl Wilson on "Maybe I Don't Know" from The Beach Boys.

Lindsay wrote the string and horn arrangement on the 1984 Ziggy Marley and the Melody Makers song "Lyin' in Bed", which mixed reggae with symphonic music.

The organist was Daniel Hyde, and the soloist was Gena West.

Lindsay composed the music for Fox Wars which broadcast on 22 October 2013.
