**John Hoyer Updike** (Shillington, Pensilvanija, 18.3. 1932. - Danvers, Massachusetts, 27.1. 2009.) bio je američki pisac. Updikeovo najpotznatije djelo je Rabbit ciklus (*Rabbit, Run*; *Rabbit Redux*; *Rabbit Is Rich*; *Rabbit At Rest* i *Rabbit Remembered*). *Rabbit is Rich* i *Rabbit at Rest* su osovojila Pulitzerove nagrade. Poznat po tome što voli opisivati "američke protestantske gradiće sa srednjom klasom," Updike je poznat po stilu i plodnom opusu, koji se sastoji od 22 objavljena romana, više od deset zbirki novela, kao i poeziji, književnoj kritici i dječjim knjigama. Stotina priča, recenzija i pjesama su se pojavljivale u *The New Yorkeru* od 1950-ih. Većina djela se bavi seksom, vjerom i smrću, te njihovim međuodnosima.
