威廉·薩默塞特·毛姆, CH（英語：William Somerset Maugham，IPA：/mɔːm/，1874年1月25日－1965年12月16日），英国現代小說家、劇作家。他是那个时代最受欢迎的作家之一，据说是20世纪30年代收入最高的作家。毛姆的父母在他10岁之前就去世了，他被一个情感冷漠的叔叔领养。他不想像家里的其他人一样成为一名律师，所以他接受了培训，取得了医生的资格。他的第一部小说 (1897年)首期销售速度惊人，以至于他放弃了医学，转而全职写作。第一次世界大战期间，他曾在红十字会和救护队服役，1916年被招募加入英国秘密情报局，曾在瑞士和俄罗斯为其服务，直到1917年 十月革命。战争期间和战后，他游历了印度和东南亚，这些经历被反映在其后来的短篇故事和小说中。
