John William Jakes (born on March 31, 1932) is a writer of fiction. Jakes first sold stories to pulp magazines while still in college in the early 1950s. He published several stories and novels over the next 20 years, many of them fantasy fiction, science fiction and westerns and other sorts of historical fiction, while working in the advertising industry. In 1971, he began to write full time.

During this time, he was also a member of the Swordsmen and Sorcerers' Guild of America (SAGA), a loose-knit group of heroic fantasy authors founded in the 1960s, some of whose works were anthologized in Lin Carter's Flashing Swords! anthologies.

He gained widespread popularity with the publication of his Bicentennial Series of books in the mid to late 1970s. He has since published several more popular works of historical fiction, most dealing with American history.
