Homer Lea (November 17, 1876 – November 1, 1912) was an American adventurer, author and geopolitical strategist. He is today best known for his involvement with Chinese reform and revolutionary movements in the early twentieth century and as a close advisor to Dr. Sun Yat-sen during the 1911 Chinese Republican revolution that overthrew the Qing Dynasty, and for his writings about China, Germany, England, Japan, the Pacific and geopolitics. Homer Lea had no children, and neither did his two sisters. His closest relative and first cousin was Malcolm Lea and Malcolm's son, Ralph Lea. Malcolm Lea visited with Homer Lea in Los Angeles where Homer proudly gave him signed copies of his works. Malcolm and Ralph Lea returned to Los Angeles to visit with Homer's sisters, Ermal and Hersa through the 1930s and for Lea family reunions.
