Nathaniel Isaacs (1808–1872) was an English adventurer who played a part in the history of Natal, South Africa. He wrote a book spread over two volumes (whose accuracy is now disputed) called "Travels and Adventures in Eastern Africa". This book subsequently became one of the principal sources quoted by writers of the History of Natal including Morris (The Washing of the Spears: The Rise and Fall of the Zulu Nation), Ritter (Shaka Zulu: The Rise of the Zulu Empire) and Bulpin (Natal and the Zulu Country).
