Herman Raucher (April 13, 1928 – December 28, 2023) was an American author and screenwriter who penned the autobiographical screenplay and novel ''Summer of '42'', which became one of the highest-grossing films and one of the best selling novels of the 1970s. Raucher began his writing career during the Golden Age of Television, when he moonlighted as a scriptwriter while working for a Madison Avenue advertising agency. He effectively retired from writing in the 1980s after a number of projects failed to come to fruition, though his books remain in print and a remake of one of his films, ''Sweet November'', was produced in 2001.
