هوارد فيليپس لڤكرافت بالإنگليزية: Howard Phillips Lovecraft هومحرر وروائي أميركي اشتهر بكتابة قصص الرعب والخيال الفهمي. ولد في مدينة پروڤيدنس، رود أيلاند في عام 1890 وعاش معظم فترات حياته فيها. وبسبب سقمه المتواصل لم يكمل لافكرافت تعليمه واضطر إلى هجر المدرسة. ولكنه استطاع كسب الفهم والعلوم من خلال القراءة الذاتية في المنزل. خط الكثير من الموضوعات والقصص القصيرة وانصب هجريزه على كتابة قصص الرعب. بدأ بنشر قصصه في عام 1923 عن طريق مجلة قصص عجيبة. وعلى الرغم من حتى مجموعته القصصية صغيرة نسبياً ( ثلاثة روايات و60 سيرة قصيرة) فإن كتابات لڤكرافت قد ألهمت وأثرت على الكثير من الكتاب الأميركيين والعالميين. توفي بعد معاناة من سقم السرطان في مسقط رأسه في عام 1937 عن عمر يناهز 47 عاما.
