Price Collier (1860-1913), American writer, lived, while a boy, in Switzerland and England.

His maternal grandfather, Hiram Price, was a U.S. congressman. He is best known for his clever sketches of national character in America and the Americans from the French Point of View (1896); England and the English from an American Point of View (1909); The West in the East from an American Point of View (1911) and Germany and the Germans from an American Point of View (1913).
