John D. MacDonald (n. , Sharon(d), Pennsylvania, SUA – d. , Milwaukee, Wisconsin, SUA) a fost un scriitor american. A scris romane și povestiri scurte, numeroase în genul thriller.
MacDonald a fost un autor prolific de romane de crimă și suspans, multe dintre ele având loc în casa sa adoptată din Florida. Unul dintre cei mai de succes romancieri americani ai timpului său, MacDonald a vândut aproximativ 70 de milioane de cărți de-a lungul carierei sale.[10]
Cele mai cunoscute lucrări ale sale includ seria populară Travis McGee foarte apreciată de critici și romanul său din 1957, The Executioners, care a fost adaptat într-un film în 1962 și refăcut în 1991.
Stephen King, care a fost influențat și de MacDonald, a spus despre acesta că este „marele autor al epocii noastre și un povestitor fascinant”.[11]
