Don Petersen (August 8, 1927 – April 25, 1998) was an American playwright and screenwriter. Born in Davenport, Iowa, Petersen wrote the play Does a Tiger Wear a Necktie?, which debuted on Broadway on February 25, 1969, and ran for only 39 performances after 19 previews. Though a failure at the box office, the play was a succès d'estime, garnering Al Pacino a Tony Award and a Drama Desk Award. Petersen's second Broadway play, The Enemy is Dead, was a flop, opening and closing after one performance on January 14, 1973. He died on April 25, 1998 at the age of 70 in Pittsfield, Massachusetts.
