Edmond Hamilton (1904-1977) was an American author of science fiction stories and novels during the mid-Twentieth Century. His career as a science fiction writer began with the publication of the short story "The Monster God of Mamurth," which appeared in the August 1926 issue of the classic magazine of alternative fiction, Weird Tales. Hamilton quickly became a central member of the remarkable group of Weird Tales writers assembled by editor Farnsworth Wright, which included H. P. Lovecraft and Robert E. Howard.

Edmond is credited as the author of the first hardcover compilation of what would eventually come to be known as the science fiction genre, The Horror on The Asteroid and Other Tales of Planetary Horror (1936)

In 1946 Hamilton began writing for DC Comics, specializing in stories for their characters Superman and Batman.

Hamilton was married to fellow scifi author Leigh Brackett (1915-1978).
