Eugene Gladstone O'Neill (New York, 16 tetor 1888 — Boston, 27 nëntor 1953) ishte dramaturg amerikan. Fitues i katër Çmimimeve Pulitzer për dramë, dhe i Çmimit Nobel për letërsi, për vitin 1936.

Dramat e tij ishin ndër të parat, ku teatri amerikan hyri në realizëm, karakteristikë për shkrimtarët Anton Çehov, Henrik Ibzen dhe August Strindberg. Dramat e O'Niloit në skenë shkaktuanshumë replika, sidomos, në zhargonin e botës së thjeshtë. Përsonazhet e dramave të tij ishin të margjinalizuarit të cilët luftonin për idealet e tyre, por përfundonin me me dhëmbje dhe të zhgënjyer. O'Nil e ka shkruar vetëm një komedi të mire e cila është bërë e njohur - „Ah, egërsira“ (Ah, Wilderness!).^[1]^[2]. Më vonë pothuajse në të gjitha dramat e tij ka elemente të tragjedisë dhe pesimizmit vetanak.
