Cormac McCarthy, vlastním jménem Charles McCarthy, je americký romanopisec, autor několika scénářů a dramat. Jeho dílo je často přirovnáváno k tvorbě Williama Faulknera a žánrově bývá zařazováno k westernu i postapokalyptickému románu. V roce 2007 získala jeho kniha Cesta Pulitzerovu cenu. Filmová adaptace románu Tahle země není pro starý (2005) byla v roce 2009 ohodnocena čtyřmi Oskary. Je také držitelem ceny National Book Award za titul Všichni krásní koně (česky 2008).
V roce 1985 publikoval román Krvavý poledník aneb Večerní červánky na západě, který se umístil na 3. místě v anketě deníku New York Times o nejlepší americký román posledních 25 let.
Jednou z mnoha populárních knih se rovněž stal román v divadelní formě – Vlak Sunset Limited (česky 2013). V podobě divadelní hry sklízel Vlak Sunset Limited v roce 2006 velký úspěch na Broadwayi a v Chicagu.
Román Konzultant (2013) je zatím jednou z posledních vydaných knih. Příběh uznávaného právníka, který vstoupí do obchodu s drogami, se také stal předlohou pro vznik stejnojmenného filmového snímku uznávaného režiséra Ridleyho Scotta.
