هوارد فيليپس لڤكرافت إنگليزية: Howard Phillips Lovecraft هو كاتب وروائي أميركي اشتهر بكتابة قصص الرعب و الخيال العلمي. ولد في مدينة پروڤيدنس، رود أيلاند في عام 1890 وعاش معظم فترات حياته فيها. وبسبب مرضه المتواصل لم يكمل لافكرافت تعليمه واضطر إلى ترك المدرسة. ولكنه استطاع كسب المعرفة و العلوم من خلال القراءة الذاتية في المنزل. كتب العديد من المقالات والقصص القصيرة وانصب تركيزه على كتابة قصص الرعب. بدأ بنشر قصصه في عام 1923 عن طريق مجلة قصص عجيبة. وعلى الرغم من أن مجموعته القصصية صغيرة نسبياً ( 3 روايات و 60 قصة قصيرة) فإن كتابات لڤكرافت قد ألهمت وأثرت على العديد من الكتاب الأميركيين والعالميين. توفي بعد معاناة من مرض السرطان في مسقط رأسه في عام 1937 عن عمر يناهز 47 عاما.
