歐·亨利(英語:O.Henry,1862年9月11日-1910年6月5日),有時又譯奧亨利,原名威廉·西德尼·波特(William Sydney Porter),20世紀初美國著名短篇小說家,美國現代短篇小說創始人。與法國的莫泊桑、俄國的契訶夫並稱為世界三大短篇小說巨匠。他少年時曾一心想當畫家,婚後在妻子的鼓勵下開始寫作。后因在銀行供職時的賬目問題而入獄,服刑期間認真寫作,並以「歐·亨利」為筆名發表了大量的短篇小說,引起讀者廣泛關注。他是一位高產的作家,一生中留下了一部長篇小說和近三百篇的短篇小說。他的短篇小說構思精巧,風格獨特,以表現美國中下層人民的生活、語言幽默、結局出人意料(即「歐·亨利式結尾」)而聞名於世。
