Michael Shaara (23 juin 1928 – 5 mai 1988) était un auteur américain de science-fiction, de romans sur le sport et de fiction historique. Né à Jersey City, dans le New Jersey, d'un père immigré italien (le nom de famille s'écrivait à l'origine Sciarra, que l'on prononce de façon similaire en italien), il obtint son diplôme de l'université Rutgers en 1951, où il rejoignit la fraternité Theta Chi, et servit comme sergent dans la 82e division aéroportée avant la guerre de Corée.
