Salinger v. Random House, Inc., 811 F.2d 90 (2d Cir. 1987) is a United States case on the application of copyright law to unpublished works. In a case about author J. D.

In the case of unpublished letters, the decision was seen as favoring the individual's right to privacy over the public right to information.
