Raymond Chandler (Chicago, 23 de Julho de 1888 — La Jolla, 26 de Março de 1959) foi um romancista e roteirista dos Estados Unidos. Exerceu uma influência imensa no gênero dos romances policiais modernos, especialmente no que diz respeito ao estilo da escrita e nas atitudes que atualmente são características do gênero. Seu protagonista, Philip Marlowe, juntamente com o Sam Spade de Dashiell Hammett (ambos interpretados no cinema por Humphrey Bogart, respectivamente, em "À Beira do Abismo" dirigido por Howard Hawks; e em "Relíquia Macabra" dirigido por John Huston), é considerado praticamente um sinônimo do "detetive particular". Além de sua obra em prosa, também foi autor de diversos poemas. Leia mais na Wikipédia
