Agatha Christie
(Torquay, 1890. szeptember 15. – Wallingford, 1976. január 12.) angol írónő, „a krimi koronázatlan királynője”. Mary Westmacott álnéven romantikus regényeket is írt, de az utókor számára inkább mintegy 80 detektívregénye és nagy sikereket arató West End-i színpadi darabjai miatt emlékezetes. A Guinness Rekordok Könyve szerint William Shakespeare könyvei és a Biblia után Agatha Christie könyveit adták ki a legnagyobb példányszámban az egész világon.
