Joan Didion (born December 6, 1935) is an American writer. She was born in Sacramento, California and lives in New York City.

Didion is the author of five novels and seven books of non-fiction. Her collections of essays, Slouching Toward Bethlehem (1968) and The White Album (1979) made her a famous as an observer of American politics and culture. Her most recent book is Where I Was From (2003), which contains both new and collected essays, all of them reflecting on her state of birth, California, and on Didion's somewhat ambivalent and complicated relationship to the state.

She contributes regularly to The New York Review of Books and The New Yorker. Didion also collaborated with her late husband, writer John Gregory Dunne, on screenplays.
