This is an index of authors whose last names begin with the letter "D". Authors whose names appear in bold are very well-known authors or authors with very well-known works. See also the category Authors-D, which is by nature a (usually) more complete but less organized list.
Note: Romance language names like "de Gaulle" or "da Vinci" with a lower case d are alphabetized under the second element of the name.
