James Albert Michener (3. oktobar 1907 - 16. oktobar 1997) bio je američki književnik, najpoznatiji po knjigama historijskog žanra, čija se radnja obično odvijala preko nekoliko generacija na nekoj, najčešće "egzotičnoj" lokaciji. Michener je također bio poznat po izuzetnom trudu ulaganom u istraživanje lokacija i vremenskih perioda u kojima su se odvijale radnje njegovih djela, nastojeći ih učiniti što autentičnijim. Njegova najpoznatija djela su poluautobigrafska zbirka priča Tales of the South Pacific (za koju je nagrađen Pulitzerovom nagradom za fikciju i koja je poslužila kao predložak slavnom mjuziklu South Pacific), te romani Hawaii, The Drifters, Centennial, The Source, The Fires of Spring, Chesapeake, Caribbean, Caravans, Alaska, Texas i Poland
