English composer, conductor, pianist, organist and teacher who is best known for being Frederick Delius's amanuensis from 1928 to 1934.

In 1928, hearing that Delius had become virtually helpless because of blindness and paralysis (due to syphilis), Fenby offered to serve him as an amanuensis. Fenby worked, at the composer's home in Grez-sur-Loing, near Paris, for extended periods until Delius died almost six years later. The whole experience left Fenby "completely burnt out". In 1936, he published an account, Delius As I Knew Him. This episode in Fenby's and Delius's lives was portrayed in Ken Russell's 1968 production for the BBC, Song of Summer.
