Thomas Leo (Tom) Clancy jr. (Baltimore, 12 april 1947 – aldaar, 1 oktober 2013) was een Amerikaans auteur van politieke thrillers, gebaseerd op concepten ontleend aan inlichtingendiensten en de militaire wetenschap; zijn naam is tevens een generieke aanduiding voor soortgelijke boeken die door andere auteurs worden geschreven. Zijn vroege boeken ontlenen hun thematiek uit de Koude Oorlog. Clancy bereikt in zijn boeken door nauwgezet onderzoek een grote mate van realisme. Hij besteedde aandacht aan (fictieve) ecopolitieke motieven en achtergronden, in het bijzonder ook aan de technologie die bij missies wordt ingezet. Meerdere boeken zijn verfilmd. Ook werkte hij mee aan een aantal computerspellen waarvan de Rainbow Six-serie, de Splinter Cell-serie en de Ghost Recon-serie het bekendst zijn.
