James Morrow (born March 17, 1947) is an American novelist and short-story writer known for filtering large philosophical and theological questions through his satiric sensibility.

Most of Morrow's oeuvre has been published as science fiction and fantasy, but he is also the author of two unconventional historical novels, The Last Witchfinder and Galápagos Regained. He variously describes himself as a "scientific humanist," a "bewildered pilgrim," and a "child of the Enlightenment".^[1]

Morrow presently lives in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania with his second wife, Kathryn Smith Morrow, and their three dogs.^{[2][obsolete source]}
