Ann Carol Crispin (born 1950) is an American science fiction writer, the author of over sixteen published novels. She has been writing since 1983. She has written several Star Trek novels, and created her own original science fiction series called Starbridge.

Two of her Star Trek novels — Yesterday's Son and Time for Yesterday — were direct sequels to the third season episode "All Our Yesterdays", and detail Spock and Zarabeth's son. Yesterday's Son was the first non-novelization Star Trek novel to appear on the New York Times Best Seller list. Her later Star Trek works included the novel Sarek, which takes place after Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.

Her best-known Star Wars work is the The Han Solo Trilogy, which chronicles the life of Han Solo prior to Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. Her first Star Wars works, however, were two short stories that she wrote for Kevin J. Anderson's Tales From the Mos Eisley Cantina and Tales from Jabba's Palace anthologies. She also contributed a story, written with occasional collaborator Kathleen O'Malley, to Richard Dean Starr's Tales of Zorro anthology.

Crispin also served as Eastern Regional Director, and then Vice President, of the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America. She wrote the novelizations for The V miniseries and the film Alien Resurrection.

Crispin's website features art by Brian Canfield Mitchell. She is married to science fiction author Michael Capobianco.
