Severiano Fernández Nicolás (9 September 1919 – 2 September 2021) was a Spanish writer. He was born in Montejos, León. Writing in a social realist vein, he was a finalist for the very first edition of the Premio Planeta with his 1952 novel Tierra de promisión. That same year - something of an annus mirabilis for him - he won the Premio Selecciones de Lengua Española for his book El desahucio, and was a finalist for the Premio Nadal for La ciudad sin horizontes, which remains unpublished to this day.[1]

Other major works include Las muertes inútiles, Después de la tormenta, Las influencias and Crónica de un juez. As late as 2003, he published a true crime book titled Juicios de faltas. He also worked as a screenwriter for television and cinema.

He published his memoirs in 1998. His life and work has been studied by Natalia Álvarez Méndez, a scholar at the University of León.[2][3]

Fernández died on 2 September 2021, aged 101.[4]
