Gordon Korman (born October 23, 1963) is a Canadian author, primarily of novels for children and young adults.

Korman was born in Montreal, Quebec. In the seventh grade, his language arts teacher was a track and field coach. At a loss for what to do, the teacher simply allowed the students to work on whatever they wanted for the rest of the year. For Korman, this resulted in the manuscript for This Can't Be Happening at Macdonald Hall, the first book in his Bruno and Boots series, arguably his most famous. It was published a year and a half later by the Scholastic Press, when Korman was 14 years old.

He currently resides in New York City, with his wife and three children.
