Christian Karlson "Karl" Stead ONZ CBE （born 17 October 1932） is a New Zealand writer whose works include novels, poetry, short stories, and literary criticism.
He is one of New Zealand's most well-known and internationally celebrated writers.
Stead was born in Auckland in 1932.
He attended Mount Albert Grammar School.
He has said that growing up he rarely read New Zealand writers: "I read a few New Zealand writers at school but mainly it was a British education so one read British writers really".
Stead began writing poetry at about age 14 when he read a copy of the collected works of Rupert Brooke, sent by his sister's penpal in England.
Stead graduated from the University of Auckland with a Bachelor of Arts in 1959, and earned his Masters of Arts the following year.
At this time he and his wife were neighbours with short-story writer Frank Sargeson.
Writer Janet Frame was living in a hut in Sargeson's garden, having recently been discharged after nine years in a mental hospital.
Frame later wrote about this time in her memoir An Angel at My Table, and Stead covered the same period in his autobiographical novel All Visitors Ashore （1984）.

In 1964, Stead published his first book, The New Poetic （1964）, based on his PhD study of W. B. Yeats, Ezra Pound, T.S. Eliot and the Georgian poets.
It went on to sell over 100,000 copies.
