James Fenimore Cooper (n. 15 septembrie 1789, Burlington^⁠(d), New Jersey, SUA – d. 14 septembrie 1851, Cooperstown^⁠(d), New York, SUA) a fost un scriitor american prolific de la începutul secolului al XIX-lea. Poveștile sale istorice de dragoste despre viața indienilor au creat o formă unică a literaturii americane.

Cooper a fost întreaga sa viață membru al Bisericii Episcopale iar spre sfârșitul vieții a ajutat-o cu generozitate.^[12] El a scris seria de romane Leatherstocking Tales, unde protagonist este Natty Bumppo, iar romanele sunt The Pioneers (1823), The Last of the Mohicans (1826), The Prairie (1827), The Pathfinder (1840) și The Deerslayer (1841).
