Gregory Maguire, né le 9 juin 1954 à Albany dans l'État de New York, est un auteur américain.

Il est l'auteur des romans Wicked : La Véritable Histoire de la méchante sorcière de l'Ouest , Les Petites Sorcières et de nombreux autres romans ou livres de jeunesse. Beaucoup des romans de Gregory Maguire apparaissent comme des présentations revisitées d'univers pour enfants. Par exemple, dans Wicked, l'image du pays d'Oz est différente et la méchante sorcière de l'Ouest est transformée en un personnage féminin sympathique, Elphaba, opprimée par la société et à laquelle s'identifie le lecteur. Wicked fut présentée en comédie musicale l'année de sa parution et connut un succès remarquable aux États-Unis. Sa suite, Son of a Witch, a paru en 2005 aux États-Unis.

Maguire reçut son Ph.D. en Littérature anglaise et américaine à Tufts University. Il fut professeur et codirecteur à Simmons College Center pour l'étude de la littérature de jeunesse de 1979 à 1985. En 1987, il fut le cofondateur de Children's Literature New England. Il est toujours codirecteur du CLNE, bien que l'organisation ait annoncé son intention de fermer.

Il est marié au peintre Andy Newman et a adopté trois enfants.
