  • ジョン・ダン・マクドナルド（John Dann MacDonald、1916年7月24日 - 1986年12月28日）は、アメリカ合衆国ペンシルベニア州シャロン出身の推理作家、SF作家。別ペンネームにジョン・ウェイド・ファレル、ピーター・リードがある。 探偵小説「トラヴィス・マッギー」シリーズで知られる。 ペンシルベニア大学ウォートン・スクール、シラキューズ大学マーティン・J・ホイットマン校を卒業の後、1939年ハーヴァード大学の経営学修士号（MBA）を取得 。 シラキューズ大学時代に、ドロシー・プレンティス（Dorothy Prentiss）と出会い、1937年在学中に結婚。 卒業後、1940年より第二次世界大戦に従軍。陸軍Ordnance Corpに勤務し、後には極東地区担当のOSSに勤務した。 従軍中（1945年）から妻を喜ばせるために短編小説を書き始める。彼女は郵送された小説を彼に内緒で出版社に持ち込み、「オールド・ストーリー・マガジン」誌に買い取られた。 デビューから4ヶ月間、彼は一日14時間休日なしというスケジュールでタイプライターから約80万語を打ちまくり、体重を20ポンド減らしながらも何編もの短編を仕上げた。彼はそれらをあちこちに売り込み続けたが何百回も拒否された。しかし5ヶ月目にはパルプ誌「ダイム・ディテクティヴ(Dime Detective)」誌に作品が40ドルで売れ、それ以降、探偵小説、推理小説、冒険小説、スポーツ小説、西部劇、SF小説などを書き続け、売り続けた。 ペーパーバック小説がブームとなった1950年、彼は最初の長編小説「真鍮のカップケーキ（Brass Cupcake）」をファーセット・パブリケーションズ社のゴールド・メダル・ブックス（Fawcett Publications' Gold Medal Books）から発表した。 SF小説では、「アスタウティング(Astounding)」誌（1948）に「Cosmetics」、「Wine of the Dreamer」（1951）、「Ballroom of the Skies」（1952）を発表した。 1962年にはアメリカ探偵作家クラブ（MWA）の会長に就任。 1972年にはアメリカ探偵作家クラブからの巨匠賞とグランドマスター(grand master)の称号が贈られた。 1980年には米国図書賞（American Book Award）を受賞。
