We know nothing about the author of the Book of Revelations, who is commonly known as "John of Patmos" because of his introduction in the Book. However, many Christians believe him to be the author of John's Gospel, in spite of the style and theological differences. If the apostle John, brother of James, was the author of John's Gospel (which many New Testament scholars doubt), then he could not have been the author of Revelation.

Did the Apostle Paul write Revelation?
The Book of Revelation was signed by a person called John, so Paul could not have written it. The book was at one stage attributed to the apostle John, because of the coincidence of name, and in fact was accepted into the New Testament solely because of that attribution. Modern scholars say that the author could not have been the apostle John and simply call the book's author 'John of Patmos'.
