William Peter McGivern (1918-1982) was an American novelist and television scriptwriter. He published more than 20 novels, mostly mysteries and crime thrillers. While mostly known as a crime novelist, McGivern also wrote a large number of science fiction stories for magazines like Amazing Stories and Fantastic Adventures during the 1940s and 1950s.

McGivern moved to Los Angeles in the early 1960s to write for television and film. His credits include the TV series Ben Casey, Adam-12, and Kojak. In 1980 he was elected President of the Mystery Writers of America.
