**Alan Le May** (Indianapolis, 1899ko ekainaren 3a - Hollywood, 1964ko apirilaren 27a) estatubatuar eleberrigile eta gidoigilea izan zen.

Indianapolisen jaioa, nerabezaroan Aurorara joan zen familiarekin. 1916an Floridako Stetson Unibertsitatean ikasten hasi zen eta 1918an armadan izena eman zuen. 1922an Chicagoko Unibertsitatean filosofian graduatu zen eta Guardia Nazionalean sartu eta artilleriako teniente mailara igo zen.

1927an idatzi zuen lehen eleberria. Harrezkero, Amerikako Mendebaldeko gaiei buruzko eleberriak, ipuinak eta gidoiak idatzi zituen. Bere eleberri ezagunenak *The Searchers* eta *The Unforgiven* dira. Horietan oinarritu ziren John Fordek eta John Huston zuzendutako bi film, *The Searchers* eta *The Unforgiven*.
