Ronald Arthur Burroughs CMG (4 June 1917 – 24 May 1980) was a British diplomat who served as Her Majesty's Ambassador to Algeria between 1971 and 1973. A letter he wrote to Sir James Craig in 1971 concerning The Spanish Ambassador’s Suitcase became the title of a book by Matthew Parris and Andrew Bryson on amusing unofficial letters of diplomacy. In the book Parris states that in ‘diplomatic circles The Spanish Ambassador’s Suitcase despatch is by impute probably the greatest funny of them all’.
