John Champlin Gardner Jr. (Batavia (Nueva York), 21 de julio de 1933-Condado de Susquehanna, 14 de septiembre de 1982) fue un novelista, ensayista, crítico literario y profesor universitario estadounidense. Entre las novelas más conocidas de Gardner se encuentran , sobre un policía descontento al que se le pide que se enfrente a un loco que domina la mitología clásica; Grendel (1971), un relato de la leyenda de Beowulf desde el punto de vista del monstruo, en un contexto existencial; y , sobre un hermano y una hermana amargados que viven y se pelean entre sí en la Vermont rural. Este último libro ganó el Premio del Círculo de Críticos Nacional del Libro en 1976.
