John Pinsent was an English classical scholar, especially in the area of Greek mythology. He founded and edited an academic journal on classical antiquity, the Liverpool Classical Monthly. It was established in 1976 and continued until 1995. Pinsent was its editor-in-chief for its complete lifespan and, because of this, it was sometimes known as Pinsent's Paper.
